How Does AI for Chip Design Work?

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is an AI technology used in chip design. RL utilizes multiple chip floor designs to achieve the best PPA configurations. The AI-generated floor plans are a product of parameters provided by electronic designers to optimize PPA through wire length reduction, congestion and density management, power consumption minimization, and area optimization. With continuous reinforcement, the RL system improves and produces better designs autonomously.

 AI can automate chip design tasks such as place and route and debug. For example, AI can generate more optimal layouts for integrated circuits, reducing the time and effort required for this process. Optimal place and route in chip design have traditionally relied on knowledge gleaned by individual engineers over many projects. It has been a manual time-consuming process and could become even more of a bottleneck as design complexity increases. However, AI can automate the optimization of place and route task with intelligence; design engineers can ask AI algorithms to explore different place and route scenarios using different parameters and provide an optimal one for review.

 EDA tools can help optimize power, performance, and area (PPA). This means the chip is designed to use the least amount of electricity while accomplishing its designated task. Additionally, the chip should be as small as possible to optimize space. AI technology can analyze human designs to quickly explore and identify different, optimiz

 EDA tools can help optimize power, performance, and area (PPA). This means the chip is designed to use the least amount of electricity while accomplishing its designated task. Additionally, the chip should be as small as possible to optimize space. AI technology can analyze human designs to quickly explore and identify different, optimized placements that may lead to better power consumption, performance, or use of space. By exploring different design approaches faster than humanly possible, AI algorithms can identify areas where power can be optimized and better quality of results for the design can be achieved.

Bridging the gap in chip design talent

 With the global boom in electrification, the demand for semiconductor chips is growing. This requires a skilled workforce that either may not exist or may not have the years of experience required to support the complexity of designs. Here, AI tools can help bridge the workforce gap by automating aspects of the tasks that relied upon extensive prior knowledge.
