LLM-Driven Design Space Exploration for FPGA Accelerators

other · 2026-05-09

The SECDA-DSE framework introduces Large Language Models into the SECDA approach, facilitating the automation of design space exploration for FPGA-based accelerators tailored to AI tasks. This innovative system merges a structured DSE Explorer, which creates accelerator configurations, with an LLM Stack that employs retrieval-augmented reasoning to explore architectural parameters, dataflow methods, and memory hierarchies. As a result, it minimizes the manual labor and specialized knowledge usually necessary for pinpointing the best configurations.
