Amortized Neural Optimization for Pre-Layout Signal Integrity Design Space Exploration using Differentiable Surrogates
arXiv:2606.07463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pre-layout design space exploration (DSE) for high-speed signal integrity (SI) analysis is often limited by the computational cost of simulations and iterative optimization algorithms within modern electronic design automation (EDA) workflows. While machine learning surrogate models accelerate the simulation step, optimizing designs still requires utilizing iterative black-box search methods. This iterative nature scales poorly, making multi-corner sweeps computationally expensive. As a solution, this paper proposes amortized neural optimizatio
The increasing complexity of chip design and the demand for faster time-to-market are driving innovation in AI-powered design automation, making this a critical area of research.
This development can significantly accelerate the design and optimization of high-speed electronics, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in an area critical for advanced computing infrastructure.
Traditional iterative optimization methods in pre-layout SI design are being replaced by more efficient, amortized neural optimization techniques, allowing for faster and broader exploration of design spaces.
