AI Agent Converts Legacy Finite-Difference Code to Devito

Researchers have developed an AI agent framework designed to convert legacy finite-difference code into the Devito environment. This system utilizes Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and open-source Large Language Models within a multi-stage workflow. The agent builds a Devito knowledge graph by parsing documents, segmenting structures, extracting relationships, and identifying communities. It incorporates a reverse engineering component that analyzes Fortran source code to derive query strategies for RAG, enhancing retrieval precision through parallel searching and semantic analysis. Code synthesis is managed by Pydantic constraints, and validation employs static analysis with the G-Eval approach to ensure correctness and compliance. AI

IMPACT This research could streamline the modernization of scientific simulation software, making legacy codebases more accessible and adaptable.
