AgenticPD: A Stage-Aware Agentic Framework for Physical Design QoR Optimization
Shuo Ren, Zijin Cheng, Yaohui Han, Libo Shen, Leilei Jin, Wanting Tian, et al.
Physical design quality-of-results~(QoR) optimization is hard and expensive. Choices made at one stage can help or hurt later stages. Each evaluation requires a costly EDA run through the full flow. While existing methods still treat optimization as flat parameter tuning or a LLM…
