LLM agent tackles C to HLS-C conversion with novel verification workflow

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel LLM agent designed to convert standard C programs into a synthesizable subset of C (HLS-C) required for high-level synthesis toolchains. This agent addresses limitations in existing systems by formulating the conversion as a closed-loop generation-verification-diagnosis-repair process. It incorporates a Progressive Mismatch Localization Chain to pinpoint errors and a typed-query, two-stage retrieval-augmented generation system with a self-evolving repair-card pool, outperforming current state-of-the-art models in experimental results. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the efficiency and reliability of converting C code for hardware synthesis, potentially speeding up hardware design cycles.

    Evidence-Driven LLM Agent for C-to-Synthesizable-C Conversion and Verification

    arXiv:2606.28409v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Software-compilable C programs routinely fail to complete the four-stage pipeline of a high-level synthesis (HLS) toolchain -- compilation, C simulation (CSim), synthesis, and C/RTL co-simulation (CoSim) -- because HLS accepts onl…
