Can Agents Design Better Chips with a Higher Level Abstraction?
Zijian Ding, Yang Zou, Yizhou Sun +1
Large Language Model (LLM) agents are increasingly being explored for chip design, but most existing approaches operate directly at RTL. We ask whether agents can design better chi…
AgRefactor: Self-Evolving Agentic Workflow for HLS Compatibility and Performance
Yang Zou, Zijian Ding, Yizhou Sun +1
High-Level Synthesis (HLS) provides a fast path from concepts to silicon, but converting real-world software into synthesizable HLS code remains challenging due to restrictive lang…
Iceberg: Enhancing HLS Modeling with Synthetic Data
Zijian Ding, Tung Nguyen, Weikai Li +3
Deep learning-based prediction models for High-Level Synthesis (HLS) of hardware designs often struggle to generalize. In this paper, we study how to close the generalizability gap…
LLM-DSE: Searching Accelerator Parameters with LLM Agents
Hanyu Wang, Xinrui Wu, Zijian Ding +6
Even though high-level synthesis (HLS) tools mitigate the challenges of programming domain-specific accelerators (DSAs) by raising the abstraction level, optimizing hardware direct…
LIFT: LLM-Based Pragma Insertion for HLS via GNN Supervised Fine-Tuning
Neha Prakriya, Zijian Ding, Yizhou Sun +1
FPGAs are increasingly adopted in datacenter environments for their reconfigurability and energy efficiency. High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools have eased FPGA programming by raising…
Hierarchical Mixture of Experts: Generalizable Learning for High-Level Synthesis
Weikai Li, Ding Wang, Zijian Ding +4
High-level synthesis (HLS) is a widely used tool in designing Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). HLS enables FPGA design with software programming languages by compiling the sou…
Learning to Compare Hardware Designs for High-Level Synthesis
Yunsheng Bai, Atefeh Sohrabizadeh, Zijian Ding +6
High-level synthesis (HLS) is an automated design process that transforms high-level code into hardware designs, enabling the rapid development of hardware accelerators. HLS relies…
Efficient Task Transfer for HLS DSE
Zijian Ding, Atefeh Sohrabizadeh, Weikai Li +3
There have been several recent works proposed to utilize model-based optimization methods to improve the productivity of using high-level synthesis (HLS) to design domain-specific…
Cross-Modality Program Representation Learning for Electronic Design Automation with High-Level Synthesis
Zongyue Qin, Yunsheng Bai, Atefeh Sohrabizadeh +4
In recent years, domain-specific accelerators (DSAs) have gained popularity for applications such as deep learning and autonomous driving. To facilitate DSA designs, programmers us…
UniSparse: An Intermediate Language for General Sparse Format Customization
Jie Liu, Zhongyuan Zhao, Zijian Ding +3
The ongoing trend of hardware specialization has led to a growing use of custom data formats when processing sparse workloads, which are typically memory-bound. These formats facil…
