Talk Title: AI/ML for EDA: Learning Algorithms in Analog and Digital Design
Series: Integrated Systems
Abstract: In the ever-evolving landscape of Electronic Design Automation (EDA), the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms with traditional heuristic optimization algorithms has emerged as a transformative force in automated circuit design. This presentation delves into the dynamic intersection of AI/ML and EDA, exploring state-of-the-art techniques shaping the analog and digital physical design space. Machine learning, specifically deep learning, has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy, speed, efficiency, and reliability of EDA tasks such as circuit modeling, simulation, layout design, and optimization. Delving into such cutting-edge advancements, I will describe current AI/ML research performed by the ICE Lab that promises to transcend traditional paradigms, with the goal of enabling designers to navigate complexities with unparalleled efficiency and accuracy. Specifically, a focus on state-of-the-art learning and optimization techniques for the modeling and design of mixed-signal ICs will be presented and discussed. Practical considerations, challenges, and opportunities of ML algorithms for analog and digital circuit design will be discussed, with a focus on the use of such algorithms for prediction and optimization tasks within the EDA design flow.
