Outline
This paper presents a strategy for integrating large-scale language models (LLMs) into electronic design automation (EDA) to address the growing demand for efficient EDA solutions due to the increasing complexity of modern integrated circuit designs. LLMs leverage their powerful contextual understanding, logical reasoning, and generation capabilities to streamline and automate hardware design workflows. Three case studies are presented to demonstrate the potential of LLMs in hardware design, test, and optimization. Finally, future directions and challenges are presented to further explore the potential of LLMs in next-generation EDA.
Takeaways, Limitations
•
Takeaways:
◦
EDA using LLM can accelerate hardware development and reduce design errors.
◦
LLM's contextual understanding and generation capabilities can increase efficiency throughout the hardware design, testing, and optimization processes.
◦
This paper presents various use cases and future directions for LLM-based EDA, providing valuable insights for related research.
•
Limitations:
◦
The performance of LLM is highly dependent on the quality of input data, and inaccurate data can lead to incorrect results.
