AI/ML Algorithms and Applications in VLSI Design and Technology

The scope of AI/ML applications in the future at various abstraction levels to revolutionize the field of VLSI design is discussed, aiming for high-speed, highly intelligent, and efficient implementations.

Machine learning techniques for taming the complexity of modern hardware design

This high-level overview paper describes applying three machine learning-based automation techniques to the IBM z13 mainframe and describes additional machine learning techniques in the field of hardware design, along with future directions for such work.

Introduction to VLSI systems

Representing Structure and Behavior of Digital Hardware

It is shown that suitably represented descriptions of structure and behavior set an important foundation and offers a unity of device description and simulation, since the descriptions themselves are runnable.

Guest Editors' Introduction: New VLSI Tools

This special issue is about the methodologies and tools that may help to solve the VLSI design crisis of the 1980s, and the collection of articles presented, depicting all three approaches to V LSI design tools (each representing a different methodology in VLSi design), are briefly summarized.

Palladio: An exploratory environment for circuit design

The Palladio environment is part of a growing trend toward creating integrated design environments and away from isolated design aids, and several commercial computer-aided engineering workstations have emerged, providing multiple-level, circuit-specification entry systems and integrated analysis aids.

Automatic Data Path Synthesis

The quality of designs produced by automatic synthesis programs are not yet adequate for production use, but their use as a computer aid permitting designer interaction is becoming a realitv, 1 and promises further.

Bristle Blocks: A Silicon Compiler

The Bristle Block system is an attempt to create a silicon compiler that will perform the majority of the implementation computation while placing a minimum set of constraints on the designer.

TALIB: An IC Layout Design Assistant

A knowledge-based system for automatically synthesizing integrated circuit layouts for NMOS cells by generating plan steps at different levels of abstraction and opportunistically refining each plan step at one level to more specific steps at a lower level.
