AutoPPA framework automates circuit PPA optimization using learned rules

Researchers have developed AutoPPA, a new framework designed to automate the optimization of performance, power, and area (PPA) in RTL design. Unlike previous methods that relied on human-defined rules or lacked prior knowledge, AutoPPA automatically generates its own optimization rules. It achieves this through an Explore-Evaluate-Induce workflow that abstracts rules from contrasting code pairs, leading to more effective optimization patterns. Experiments indicate that AutoPPA surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods and manual optimization techniques. AI
