New RTLCurator method improves LLM training data for RTL code generation

Researchers have developed RTLCurator, a novel method for curating datasets used to train large language models for Register-Transfer Level (RTL) code generation. Existing datasets often suffer from a lack of correctness, with a significant portion of generated code failing functional tests. RTLCurator addresses this by learning a compatibility prior that considers behavioral aspects beyond simple simulation passes, using a small set of validated pairs to calibrate the process. This approach balances alignment, representation coverage, and structural richness, leading to improved model performance even when retaining only 80% of the corpus, outperforming random selection or basic simulation filtering. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM training data quality for specialized domains like hardware design, potentially improving code generation accuracy.

    RTLCurator: Label-Efficient Data Curation for RTL Generation

    arXiv:2607.29283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training large language models (LLMs) to write register-transfer level (RTL) requires large corpora of paired specifications and code, and such data is scarce enough that most public corpora are now synthesized. Synthesis provides…
