    ARES: Adaptive Reasoning-Effort Steering for PPA- and Cost-Aware RTL Optimization with LLM Agents

    Stef Cuyckens, Mihaela Jivanescu, Jun Yin, Chao Fang, Marian Verhelst

    cs.AR · cs.AI

    Large language model (LLM) agents optimize the power, performance, and area (PPA) of register-transfer-level (RTL) designs by iterating over edits, synthesis, and PPA analysis, paying a dollar cost for every LLM call. Prior agents report the quality reached without its normalized cost, attribute that quality to an engineered cross-design memory, and hold the reasoning effort of every call fixed. We propose Ares with three corresponding...
