  • 分层去中心化训练,利用私有设计数据提升模型能力
  • 引入新指标Trueput,实现生成效率提升2.3倍
  • 支持不同场景个性化优化,适合硬件设计与量子计算领域

近年来,AI技术在电子设计自动化中应用日益广泛。大型语言模型(LLMs)在从经典数字电路到量子计算的硬件设计生成中展现出巨大潜力。然而,当前LLM生成的硬件设计质量仍难以满足实际部署需求。本文识别出三大关键挑战:数据稀缺、数据质量参差、推理效率不足。为此,提出两阶段框架:第一阶段采用分层去中心化训练机制,利用私有领域设计源克服数据共享限制;通过用户定义指标优化模型聚合,缓解低质量数据影响;第二阶段聚焦客户端个性化,引入新指标Trueput分析生成效率,实施个性化推理加速与定制采样策略。在经典与量子基准测试中,该框架显著提升生成能力,相较现有方法实现33%~50%语义准确率提升及2.3倍速度提升,具体效果依任务难度而定。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the adoption of AI techniques to enhance electronic design automation. In particular, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has sparked significant interest in LLM-assisted hardware design generation, spanning applications from classical digital circuits to quantum computing. Despite substantial progress in this direction, the quality of LLM-generated hardware design still cannot meet the requirements for practical deployment. In this work, we identify three critical challenges hindering the development of LLM-assisted hardware design generation: 1) limited data availability, 2) varied data quality, 3) inadequate inference-time efficiency. To address these fundamental challenges, this paper introduces a two-stage framework for AI-assisted hardware design by exploring decentralized training and personalized inference. In the first stage, we propose to harness private domain design sources through a hierarchical decentralized training mechanism that addresses data-sharing constraints. To mitigate the impact of low-quality data, we identify optimization opportunities in hardware generation tasks, using user-defined metrics for model aggregation. The second stage focuses on client personalization to enhance both speed and quality. We introduce a new metric, Trueput, to analyze LLM-assisted hardware generation efficiency. To optimize Trueput, we implement personalized inference-time acceleration and customized sampling strategies. Evaluating both classical and quantum benchmarks, our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed two-stage framework can significantly improve the model capability for hardware design generation. As orthogonal enhancements to existing methods, our framework can achieve $33\% \sim 50\%$ semantic accuracy improvement and $2.3$ times speedup, depending on the difficulty of the generation tasks.
