高层次综合(HLS)是电子设计自动化中的关键技术,可将高级语言描述转换为硬件电路。设计空间探索(DSE)是HLS的关键步骤,旨在约束条件下寻找优质硬件架构。然而,设计空间庞大导致DSE计算开销巨大。尽管已有众多加速DSE的算法,但我们的实验表明,无一算法在所有问题实例中均表现最优。因此,必须建立自动化算法选择机制,为每类问题匹配最佳算法。为此,我们提出SoberDSE框架,基于基准特征推荐合适算法。实验显示,该框架相比最先进的启发式DSE算法最高提速5.7倍,相比最先进的学习型方法最高提速4.2倍。此外,在小样本学习场景下,其分类准确率比传统模型平均提升35.57%。代码与模型已公开于https://anonymous.4open.science/r/Sober-4377。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

High-Level Synthesis (HLS) is a pivotal electronic design automation (EDA) technology that enables the generation of hardware circuits from high-level language descriptions. A critical step in HLS is Design Space Exploration (DSE), which seeks to identify high-quality hardware architectures under given constraints. However, the enormous size of the design space makes DSE computationally prohibitive. Although numerous algorithms have been proposed to accelerate DSE, our extensive experimental studies reveal that no single algorithm consistently achieves Pareto dominance across all problem instances. Consequently, the inability of any single algorithm to dominate all benchmarks necessitates an automated selection mechanism to identify the best-performing DSE algorithm for each specific case. To address this challenge, we propose the SoberDSE framework, which recommends suitable algorithm based on benchmark characteristics. Experimental results demonstrate that our SoberDSE framework significantly outperforms state-of-the-art heuristic-based DSE algorithms by up to 5.7 $\times$ and state-of-the-art learning-based DSE methods by up to 4.2 $\times$. Furthermore, compared to conventional classification models, SoberDSE delivers superior accuracy in small-sample learning scenarios, with an average enhancement of 35.57\%.
