Beyond Tokens: Enhancing RTL Quality Estimation via Structural Graph Learning
Researchers have developed StructRTL, a new framework that uses structural graph learning to improve the estimation of Register Transfer Level (RTL) design quality. This method leverages control data flow graphs (CDFG) to capture essential structural semantics, outperforming previous token-based approaches. The framework also incorporates knowledge distillation from post-mapping netlists to further enhance prediction accuracy, setting new state-of-the-art results in RTL quality estimation. AI
