Escaping Local Optima in Global Placement

no code implementations28 Feb 2024 Ke Xue, Xi Lin, Yunqi Shi, Shixiong Kai, Siyuan Xu, Chao Qian

Placement is crucial in the physical design, as it greatly affects power, performance, and area metrics.

LLM4EDA: Emerging Progress in Large Language Models for Electronic Design Automation

1 code implementation28 Dec 2023 RuiZhe Zhong, Xingbo Du, Shixiong Kai, Zhentao Tang, Siyuan Xu, Hui-Ling Zhen, Jianye Hao, Qiang Xu, Mingxuan Yuan, Junchi Yan

Since circuit can be represented with HDL in a textual format, it is reasonable to question whether LLMs can be leveraged in the EDA field to achieve fully automated chip design and generate circuits with improved power, performance, and area (PPA).
