LevelSyn: Physical-Aware Logic Synthesis via Level-Asynchronous Graph Neural Networks

LevelSyn introduces a physical-aware logic synthesis framework that uses a level-asynchronous Graph Neural Network to predict accurate gate coordinates by learning the structural and directional semantics of And-Inverter Graphs. It incorporates a level-aligned subgraph partitioning strategy to handle large designs and integrates these spatial insights into a new synthesis engine within the Berkeley ABC framework. Experiments on the EPFL benchmark suite show significant improvements, with an average power reduction of 6.89%, a timing delay improvement of 27.48%, and a 99.59% reduction in design rule check violations.

LevelSyn: Physical-Aware Logic Synthesis via Level-Asynchronous Graph Neural Networks

LevelSyn is a physical-aware logic synthesis framework that uses a level-asynchronous Graph Neural Network to predict high-fidelity gate coordinates by learning the structural and directional semantics of And-Inverter Graphs. It incorporates a level-aligned subgraph partitioning strategy to manage industrial-scale designs and integrates these spatial insights into a new synthesis engine within the Berkeley ABC framework. Experiments on the EPFL benchmark suite show LevelSyn outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving an average power reduction of 6.89%, a timing delay improvement of 27.48%, and a 99.59% reduction in design rule check violations.

CARB: A Characterization-Guided Framework for CNN Inference Cost Prediction and Deployment Screening

Accurate pre-deployment estimation of CNN inference cost--energy, latency, and peak memory--is increasingly critical as models are deployed on resource-constrained GPU platforms. Existing approaches rely on FLOPs, latency measurements, or single-device profiling as energy proxies, overlooking the non-linear interactions between architectural design and hardware load.
