EvoDRC: A Self-Evolving Agentic Framework for Automated DRC Violation Repair
Bing-Yue Wu, Chia-Tung Ho, Haoyu Yang +2
Design rule check (DRC) closure remains a major bottleneck in advanced-node physical design. Although detailed routers are rule-aware, residual design rule violations (DRVs) often…
LUNA: LUT-Based Neural Architecture for Fast and Low-Cost Qubit Readout
M. A. Farooq, G. Di Guglielmo, A. Rajagopala +3
Qubit readout is a critical operation in quantum computing systems, which maps the analog response of qubits into discrete classical states. Deep neural networks (DNNs) have recent…
GR-Evolve: Design-Adaptive Global Routing via LLM-Driven Algorithm Evolution
Taizun Jafri, Vidya A. Chhabria
Modern ASIC design is becoming increasingly complex, driving up design costs while limiting productivity gains from existing EDA tools. Despite decades of progress, current tools r…
DALI-PD: Diffusion-based Synthetic Layout Heatmap Generation for ML in Physical Design
Bing-Yue Wu, Vidya A. Chhabria
Machine learning (ML) has demonstrated significant promise in various physical design (PD) tasks. However, model generalizability remains limited by the availability of high-qualit…
CarbonSet: A Dataset to Analyze Trends and Benchmark the Sustainability of CPUs and GPUs
Jiajun Hu, Chetan Choppali Sudarshan, Vidya A. Chhabria +1
Over the years, the chip industry has consistently developed high-performance processors to address the increasing demands across diverse applications. However, the rapid expansion…
IR-Aware ECO Timing Optimization Using Reinforcement Learning
Wenjing Jiang, Vidya A. Chhabria, Sachin S. Sapatnekar
Engineering change orders (ECOs) in late stages make minimal design fixes to recover from timing shifts due to excessive IR drops. This paper integrates IR-drop-aware timing analys…
