Deep learning toolkit-enabled VLSI placement

Project mention: A Simulated Annealing FPGA Placer in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-02

Yes, see "DREAMPlace: DREAMPlace: Deep Learning Toolkit-Enabled GPU Acceleration for Modern VLSI Placement".[1] The technique in particular rather reformulates VLSI placement in terms of a non-linear optimization problem. Which is how ML frameworks (broadly) work, optimizing approximations to high-dimensional non-linear functions. So it's not like, shoving the netlist it into an LLM or an existing network or anything.
Note that DREAMPlace is a global placer; it also comes with a detail placer but global placement is what it is targeted at. I don't know of an appropriate research analogue for the routing phase of the problem that follows placing, but maybe someone else does.
