Researchers have introduced RTL-Sequencer, a new sequence-based approach for predicting timing in register-transfer level (RTL) designs. This method addresses limitations of existing graph-based techniques by linearizing logic cones and employing modern sequence models. RTL-Sequencer incorporates four synergistic techniques, including sequence shuffling, bidirectional modeling, differentiable modeling, and a hybrid graph-sequence architecture, to enhance its predictive capabilities. Experiments show that RTL-Sequencer significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art baselines, paving the way for improved early-stage timing optimization in hardware design. AI
