Understanding the LIN PHY (physical) layer

The physical layer of the Local Interconnection Network is a key part of this automotive networking standard; it has unique attributes of which designers should be aware.

VitaLLM: A Versatile and Tiny Accelerator for Mixed-Precision LLM Inference on Edge Devices

The authors present VitaLLM, a mixed-precision accelerator that enables ternary-weight large language models to run efficiently on edge devices. The design combines two compute cores—a multiplier-free TINT core for ternary–INT projections and a BoothFlex core that reuses a radix-4 Booth datapath for both INT8×INT8 attention and ternary–INT—sustaining utilization without duplicating arrays

GenAI for Systems: Recurring Challenges and Design Principles from Software to Silicon

Generative AI is reshaping how computing systems are designed, optimized, and built, yet research remains fragmented across software, architecture, and chip design communities. This paper takes a cross-stack perspective, examining how generative models are being applied from code generation and distributed runtimes through hardware design space exploration to RTL synthesis, physical layout, and verification.

ChipBench: A Next-Step Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Performance in AI-Aided Chip Design

While Large Language Models (LLMs) show significant potential in hardware engineering, current benchmarks suffer from saturation and limited task diversity, failing to reflect LLMs’ performance in real industrial workflows. To address this gap, the authors propose a comprehensive benchmark for AI-aided chip design that rigorously evaluates LLMs across three critical tasks: Verilog generation, debugging, and reference model generation.
