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.

Achieving nanosecond-scale inference latency for deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a primary architectural concern for latency-critical applications. While Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a promising substrate for low-latency inference, conventional FPGA accelerators remain arithmetic-centric, using LUTs primarily as building blocks for numerical operators and peripheral logic.
