The CPU was developed thanks to the help of artificial intelligence in just 5 hours, making it a milestone in terms of hardware and software.
Designing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a complex task that requires a team of engineers, architects, and programmers, and can take years of work. However, it isArtificial Intelligence or Artificial Intelligence has shown that it can do this in just five hours.
A group of researchers from the University of Science and Technology has developed an artificial intelligence system capable of designing a RISC-V CPU on an industrial scale. This feat has positioned AI in a very favorable position And it is that accessing the CPU design is a process that cannot be done easily.
The work done by this group of researchers has been published and anyone can refer to it. What has been achieved is the use of artificial intelligence so that it is the same that makes all the decisions when creating the CPU from scratch. Of course, before that it was necessary to train the artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is introduced thanks to CPU design data with RISC-V architecture. This learning model was the key to the project moving forward. In fact, it was optimized using binary decision diagram or BSD in English. All of this combined with the Monte Carlo method allowed this CPU to become a reality.
The AI was trained to create the CPU from scratch
The study shows the potential of AI to accelerate chip design and optimization, particularly those based on RISC-V, an open and flexible architecture that enables innovation. But the researchers also say that AI does not want to replace humans, but rather to complement and help them..
AI can create designs that are effective and competitive, but humans are still needed to validate, verify, and test them. The built processor has been tested using Linux, kernel 5.15, is in full operation. It’s not a modern processor, in fact, it clocks in at 300MHz and was made on the 65nm process.
Using AI as a starting point for creating complex things like a processor is just the beginning. The processors of the future may be developed by artificial intelligence, although this will have to wait for a long time, and above all, optimizing manufacturing processes so that Results Not like a wizard from thirty years ago.
