Data Repository for Chip-Chat: Challenges and Opportunities in Conversational Hardware Design

<p><strong># Data Repository for Chip-Chat: Challenges and Opportunities in Conversational Hardware Design</strong></p><p>This repository accompanies the manuscript accepted at MLCAD 2023, titled "Chip-Chat: Challenges and Opportunities in Conversational Hardware Design".</p><p>It contains the following:</p><p>- `free-chat-gpt4-tt03` - this contains the data used for the paper, which examines free-form process when exploring the potential applications for LLMs in hardware design. The task here was to generate the Verilog for a full (albeit small) processor design. Here, the chats are presented (and annotated) in the `/chats` subdirectory, which also includes a python script for extracting metadata (presented in table IV in the manuscript). Note that this directory also includes `/assembler` which provides a basic assembler (also written in Python) to make it easier to write demo programs (examples included) for the processor.</p><p>- `scripted-benchmarks` - this contains additional data not used in the paper, which examines a more rigid process when exploring the potential applications for LLMs in hardware design. Here, each model chats are separated by subdirectory.</p><p>- `scripted-benchmarks-gpt4-tt03` - this contains just the benchmarks not used in the paper, made by the first run of GPT-4, which were used for tapeout in Tiny Tapeout 3.</p><p>The two tt03 directories contain the GitHub action scripts required to invoke OpenLane and produce synthesis files, as well as used to perform simulation tests.</p>
