Verified floating-point types for ARCH HDL generated by LLMs

Researchers have developed and verified floating-point data types for the ARCH hardware description language, designed for generation by language models. The system ensures consistency across synthesizable SystemVerilog, SMT-LIB, and Lean 4 proof models for operators like comparisons, conversions, and arithmetic operations. Exhaustive verification was performed for simpler operators, while complex multiplier-based operations were proven correct against a round-to-nearest-even specification, with optimizations for performance and pipelineability.

IMPACT Enables more reliable hardware design generation from AI models, potentially speeding up hardware development cycles.

    Formally Verified Synthesizable Floating-Point Data Types in ARCH HDL

    arXiv:2607.23715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We report the design and end-to-end verification of first-class IEEE-754 binary32 (FP32) and bfloat16 (BF16) arithmetic for ARCH, a hardware description language intended to be generated by language models. Every operator - comparis…
