AI based IC Design with Security
An AI-driven, multi-agent circuit design pipeline built on the GB300 architecture, with security measures against hardware Trojans, side-channel attacks, and IP piracy.
Abstract
This keynote presents a framework for AI-driven circuit design leveraging GB300 computing architecture. Massive open-source codebases, semiconductor textbooks, and project files from platforms like GitHub feed advanced models that employ supervised fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, and reinforcement learning through a multi-agent architecture. Agents function as architectural planners, code writers, and debugging experts, iteratively generating designs tested via Icarus Verilog and Yosys. The pipeline integrates evolutionary computing and incorporates security measures against hardware Trojans, side-channel attacks, and IP piracy.
