Chip Floorplanning with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Speaker: Anna Goldie

Abstract:
In this talk, I will describe a reinforcement learning (RL) method for chip floorplanning, the engineering problem of designing the physical layout of a computer chip. Chip floorplanning ordinarily requires weeks or months of effort by physical design engineers to produce manufacturable layouts. Our method generates floorplans in under six hours that are superior or comparable to humans in all key metrics, including power consumption, performance, and chip area. To achieve this, we pose chip floorplanning as a reinforcement learning problem, and develop a novel edge-based graph convolutional neural network architecture capable of learning rich and transferrable representations of the chip. Our method was used in the design of the next generation of Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators (TPU).

In a parallel life *( say at 11, 12, 13 ) Science, Innovation and Technology Would have been my PATH...diverged...suffered, struggled, was suicidal, still read thousands of books, fought addiction, loneliness, poverty..etc...paradoxically rebirthing during COVID...providentially still a NERDish HEART & MIND...
