Area: sky130 A0′, the repaired netlist. Time: NLDM, inputs driven by buf_8, 10 fF per output bit, no wires.

Area, time and score are ranked (the leaderboard orders by the score); a number tagged extra, derived or research is shown, never ranked. Fmax-equivalent = 10⁶ / time in ps, for comparison with sites that quote Fmax.

The field is the ranked records of add's other players at this revision (1 player, 1 record), never the references, the baselines or a rejected design; each player counts once, at their best, and ties are exact at the recorded unit; advisory, recomputed at every build, never stored in a record and never used by the ranking.

On the board, another player is beaten when this design dominates every record of theirs, level when none of theirs is better and one is identical (the rest dominated), ahead when a record of theirs dominates this design, and a trade off otherwise (one of theirs better on one axis, worse on the other).

# Reference solution for task `add` with the whole bit cell in ONE `always_comb` body (WP-G S1b, gate d)

The design is `reference/add_proc_m.sv`: the ripple-carry adder of `reference/add_proc.sv` with the carry cell AND the
sum bit in a single body, `if (p[i]) c[i+1] = c[i]; else c[i+1] = a[i]; s[i] = p[i] ^ c[i];`: one `always_comb` that
writes TWO windows, `c[i+1]` and `s[i]`. `Design2.lowerComb` turns it into the one assign `{c[i+1], s[i]} = {…, …}`.

**The proof below is `reference/add_proc.lean`'s, character for character** (everything after this comment;
`tests/add/same_proof.py` pins that). `sv_equations` states one equation and one knownness fact per WINDOW and names
them by the signal they write and the ordinal of the window among the windows that write it, so this design has the
aliases `eq_c_1`, `eq_p_1`, `eq_c_2`, `eq_s_1`, `eq_cout_1` (and the `known_` twins) with the SAME statements as the
split design's: a proof written against the aliases of one holds for the other unchanged. The structure theorem is
the same too: the rank of the cell is its bit's, whether the cell writes one window or two.

It is the same design through the same pinned flow at a smaller size (ppa.py --param), so that what it does can be seen: 20 cells here, 80 at the scoring point. The critical path at N = 4 (8 cells, ending at s[3] rising, 970 ps there) is in the accent colour. Drawn by netlistsvg with svGolf's sky130 skin (derived from netlistsvg's default skin, as the drawing is: MIT licence, Copyright (c) 2016 Neil Turley, the notice): one symbol per cell function, the cell above it, the instance on hover; nor2b and nand2b are drawn with the bubble on their inverted input. The cells of the path are listed under Critical path, each a link to the cell here.

The netlist at N = 4: 20 cells, 12 nand2_1, 8 xor2_1. There (measured, not ranked): 115.11 µm², 970 ps. Open the drawing on its own (SVG, 15.2 KB) to pan and zoom it with the browser's own controls.

Critical path

at N = 16 · scored

The path the ranked delay ends on, at the scoring point N = 16: 33 nets, 32 cells, to s[15] rising at 2 611 ps. Each row is a net of the repaired netlist with the arrival and the transition the STA computed there (NLDM tables, the larger transition carried; no wires). The first row is an input: its arrival is the input driver's own delay (buf_8 fed by a 50 ps ramp). From ppa.py --path (critical_path_timing); the instance names are the scored netlist's, not the schematic's (drawn at a smaller size).

In the schematic, drawn at N = 4, the critical path is 8 cells to s[3] rising (970 ps there); each cell is a link to it in the drawing:

sky130 area (x) against the ranked time (y); lower left is better on both. The step line is the Pareto front of the entries (the proved references and the players' ranked records); a design under par's score curve has a better score than par. Baselines are drawn for scale: scored, never proved. Fitted to the cluster: 3 designs beyond the view, counted at its edge (◂ ▸ ▴ ▾); “All designs” shows them.
