cynicalsecurity :cm_2:A very interesting article from IEEE Spectrum¹ entitled "Ending an Ugly Chapter in Chip Design - Study tries to settle a bitter disagreement over Google’s chip design AI"Discussions at chip design conferences rarely get heated. But a year ago at the International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD), things got out of hand. It was described by observers as a “trainwreck” and an “ambush.” The crux of the clash was whether Google’s AI solution to one of chip design’s thornier problems was really better than those of humans or state-of-the-art algorithms. It pitted established male electronic design automation (EDA) experts against two young female Google computer scientists, and the underlying argument had already led to the firing of one Google researcher.This year at that same conference, a leader in the field, IEEE Fellow Andrew Kahng, hoped to put an end to the acrimony once and for all. He and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, delivered what he called “an open and transparent assessment” of Google’s reinforcement learning approach. Using Google’s open-source version of its process, called Circuit Training, and reverse-engineering some parts that were not clear enough for Kahng’s team, they set reinforcement learning against a human designer, commercial software, and state-of-the-art academic algorithms. Kahng declined to speak with IEEE Spectrum for this article, but he spoke to engineers last week at ISPD, which was held virtually.<a href="https://bsd.network/tags/ChipDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChipDesign</a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a>__ ¹ <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/chip-design-controversy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spectrum.ieee.org/chip-design-controversy</a>
