China pushes the world's first AI-designed CPU
A few days ago, the National Key Laboratory of Processor Chips of the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and its cooperative units designed a 32-bit RISC-V CPU "Enlightenment No. CPU chip.
This CPU adopts 65nm technology, the frequency reaches 300MHz, and can run Linux operating system. Its performance is equivalent to that of Intel 80486SX, and the design cycle is shortened to 1/1000.
With the help of AI technology, the researchers generated 4 million logic gates in 5 hours. Some industry media pointed out that this is 4,000 times the size of the circuit that can be designed by GPT-4.
The team says its training process required less than 5 hours to achieve >99.999999999% validation test accuracy.
"Enlightenment 1" is designed based on the BSD Binary Speculation Diagram algorithm. Researchers use AI technology to automatically generate CPU designs directly from "input-output (IO)" without requiring engineers to provide any code or natural language description.
