A3D: Agentic AI Automates Hardware Accelerator Design
A3D has been unveiled by researchers as an agentic AI framework designed for the complete automation of hardware accelerator design. This innovative system streamlines workload analysis, identifies performance bottlenecks, and facilitates code refactoring to ensure compatibility with high-level synthesis (HLS). The goal is to lessen the reliance on specialized knowledge from domain experts in areas such as workload comprehension, hardware design, micro-architecture, and the use of EDA tools. By utilizing advancements in AI, A3D enhances autonomous planning, reasoning, execution, and reflection. Details of this research can be found in the arXiv paper numbered 2605.15237.
