Scaling EDA Testing with Synthetic Verilog

Scaling EDA Testing with Synthetic Verilog

Generating realistic HDL designs to improve tool robustness and LLM training

This research introduces an innovative methodology for automatically generating realistic Verilog designs to address the critical shortage of benchmarks for testing Electronic Design Automation tools.

  • Creates syntactically valid and semantically meaningful hardware designs
  • Generates diverse, customizable Verilog code at scale
  • Enables more effective fuzzing and testing of EDA tools
  • Provides much-needed training data for language models in hardware design

For engineering teams, this work offers a practical solution to expand test suites, improve robustness of development tools, and potentially accelerate LLM applications in hardware design workflows.
