HighTide: An Agent-Curated Open-Source VLSI Benchmark Suite
Researchers have introduced HighTide, a new benchmark suite for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) design that utilizes AI agents for curation. This open-source suite supports multiple design languages and technology nodes, featuring an incremental compilation process with remote caching. The AI agents assist in design curation by covering various stages of the design lifecycle, offering optimization, tool references, and maintenance, with decision logs providing a memory of tuning rationale.
