Researchers have developed Dr. RTL, a multi-agent framework designed to automate and optimize the process of Register-Transfer Level (RTL) design for hardware. This framework continuously improves by learning reusable optimization skills, demonstrating an average improvement of 21% in Worst Negative Slack (WNS) and 17% in Total Negative Slack (TNS), alongside a 6% reduction in area across 20 real-world RTL designs. The paper also explores agent-driven synthesis script tuning and envisions future AI-native design automation that integrates architectural, RTL, and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) algorithm design spaces.
