CPPL: A Circuit Prompt Programming Language
Shuo Yin, Yihe Wang, Lancheng Zou +6
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in register-transfer level (RTL) design automation, but direct RTL generation remains difficult to validate, optimize, and integrate…
PipeRTL: Timing-Aware Pipeline Optimization at IR-Level for RTL Generation
Shuo Yin, Fangzhou Liu, Lancheng Zou +6
Modern hardware compilers increasingly rely on rich intermediate representations (IRs) to preserve optimization-relevant semantics before generating RTL code. However, one importan…
Analytical FFN-to-MoE Restructuring via Activation Pattern Analysis
Zehua Pei, Hui-Ling Zhen, Lancheng Zou +5
Scaling large language models (LLMs) improves performance but significantly increases inference costs, with feed-forward networks (FFNs) consuming the majority of computational res…
PermLLM: Learnable Channel Permutation for N:M Sparse Large Language Models
Lancheng Zou, Shuo Yin, Zehua Pei +3
Channel permutation is a powerful technique for enhancing the accuracy of N:M sparse models by reordering the channels of weight matrices to prioritize the retention of important w…
