• Abstract: We present a new high-level synthesis methodology for using large language model tools to generate hardware designs. The methodology uses exclusively open-source tools excluding the large language model. As a case study, we use our methodology to generate a permuted congruential random number generator design with a wishbone interface. We verify the functionality and quality of the random number generator design using large language model-generated simulations and the Dieharder randomness test suite. We document all the large language model chat logs, Python scripts, Verilog scripts, and simulation results used in the case study. We believe that our method of hardware design generation coupled with the open source silicon 130 nm design tools will revolutionize application-specific integrated circuit design. Our methodology significantly lowers the bar to entry when building domain-specific computing accelerators for the Internet of Things and proof of concept prototypes for later fabrication in more modern process nodes.

  We introduce an open-source benchmark for multi-modal generative models tailored for Verilog synthesis from visual-linguistic inputs. We also introduce an open-source visual and natural language Verilog query language framework. Our results demonstrate a significant improvement in the multi-modal generated Verilog compared to queries based solely on natural language.

  Prototype-driven text generation is inefficient at test time as a result of needing to store and index the entire training corpus. We propose a novel generative model that automatically learns a sparse prototype support set that achieves strong language modeling performance. In experiments, our model outperforms previous prototype-driven language models while achieving up to a 1000x memory reduction.
