Uncertainty-Aware End-to-End Co-Design of Neural Network Processors: From Training and Mapping to Fabrication

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 04850v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing a neural network processor is an end-to-end co-design problem: network architecture and training budget determine the inference workload; hardware mapping decisions determine chip area, latency, and energy; and these characteristics govern fabrication yield and manufacturing cost.

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.

Amortized Neural Optimization for Pre-Layout Signal Integrity Design Space Exploration using Differentiable Surrogates

arXiv:2606. 07463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pre-layout design space exploration (DSE) for high-speed signal integrity (SI) analysis is often limited by the computational cost of simulations and iterative optimization algorithms within modern electronic design automation (EDA) workflows.

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.
