RTLScout combines LLM-driven agentic RTL code optimization with synthesis and architecture sweeps to achieve 35% area and 45% delay reductions on a 16-bit IEEE-754 floating-point multiplier compared to baseline designs in ASAP7 technology.
COEVO unifies correctness and multi-objective PPA optimization in a single evolutionary loop for LLM RTL generation, reporting 97.5% and 94.5% Pass@1 on VerilogEval/RTLLM benchmarks plus best PPA on 43 of 49 designs.
VeriGraphi introduces a knowledge-graph-anchored multi-agent pipeline that produces reliable hierarchical synthesizable Verilog for complex designs such as RISC-V processors.
