Application-specific FPGA accelerators offer substantial performance and energy-efficiency gains across many application domains, but developing them is costly, often requiring months of specialized effort. Even with high-level synthesis (HLS), designers still need extensive hardware expertise to build high-performance accelerators.
arXiv:2606. 11117v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing FPGA-based accelerators for modern artificial intelligence workloads requires exploring a large and complex hardware design space that involves architectural parameters, data flow strategies, and memory hierarchies, making the process very time consuming.

arXiv:2606. 30949v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-Level Synthesis (HLS) provides a fast path from concepts to silicon, but converting real-world software into synthesizable HLS code remains challenging due to restrictive language support and the gap between software and hardware programming practices.

arXiv:2607. 16632v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hardware engineering exposes coding agents to a form of long-horizon work that is difficult to capture with pass-at-k: progress is continuous, tool feedback is delayed and heterogeneous, and a backend failure may require revising RTL rather than tuning another physical-design parameter.
