THE TECHNICAL ROLE

## A clear integration boundary.

Garmo-Sparsity-ACC integration role: AI Compute — format-agnostic sparse tensor accelerator. Documented composition: 2:4, 4:8, arbitrary N:M, CSR, CSC, COO and block-sparse formats; Metadata-first fetch prevents zero payload traffic; Hardware gather/scatter, prefix sum, compaction and decompression.

### Before integration.

Garmo-Sparsity-ACC integration role: AI Compute — format-agnostic sparse tensor accelerator. Documented composition: 2:4, 4:8, arbitrary N:M, CSR, CSC, COO and block-sparse formats; Metadata-first fetch prevents zero payload traffic; Hardware gather/scatter, prefix sum, compaction and decompression.

- Interface version and parameter set
- Clock/reset domains and integration constraints
- Companion memory, PHY and software requirements
- Verification collateral and acceptance criteria

The selected release must confirm:

- Node/library binding
- Clock/reset limits
- Physical and protocol dependencies
- Artifact hashes
- Acceptance criteria

Unpublished values are not inferred from family names or architecture targets.

Evaluation package

## Know the release.
Know what it establishes.

Canonical technology and its architecture/integration role are recorded. The offered delivery is confirmed against the exact release before licensing.

This is a controlled-portfolio summary, not a fresh execution of the chip qualification flow.

[Explore the evidence center](https://garmolabs.com/evidence) [Qualification record](https://garmolabs.com/qualification/ip-ip-2070)

### Release-specific qualification

No node-port, silicon-performance, standards certification or analog qualification is inherited from a related product.

Canonical record: P1 / REPRESENTATIVE ARCHITECTURE RTL — concrete integration specification and synthesizable RTL shell/representative datapath only; all frequency, throughput, power, area, jitter and standards-superiority figures remain architecture targets until the required evidence hierarchy closes.

A PATH THAT FITS THE PROJECT

## Build with Garmo-Sparsity-ACC.

Technical scope, rights, support and release configuration are agreed before delivery.

CANONICAL EVIDENCE RECORD · IP-2070

### Source documented

A concrete source or implementation record exists; the selected evidence does not establish complete qualification.

**Record integrity and qualification boundary**Retained exact-release source reference; no new table locator was inferred.

Evidence ranking for evaluation prioritization; not a probability or certification.
