The paper "MG-Verilog: Multi-grained Dataset Towards Enhanced LLM-assisted Verilog Generation" by Yongan Zhang, Zhongzhi Yu, Yonggan Fu, Cheng Wan, and Yingyan (Celine) Lin addresses the limitations of existing hardware datasets in enhancing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) for hardware design tasks. The authors propose a Multi-Grained-Verilog (MG-Verilog) dataset, which includes hardware descriptions at various levels of detail and corresponding Verilog code samples. This dataset aims to provide a more comprehensive and balanced training resource for LLMs, improving their accuracy and effectiveness in generating hardware designs. Key contributions of the paper include: 1. Establishing criteria for creating high-quality hardware datasets that can effectively enhance LLM-assisted hardware design. 2. Developing an open-source MG-Verilog dataset with over 11,000 Verilog code samples and their corresponding natural language descriptions. 3. Introducing a balanced fine-tuning scheme that leverages the diverse levels of detail in the MG-Verilog dataset to improve LLM performance. 4. Conducting extensive experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of the MG-Verilog dataset and fine-tuning scheme in enhancing LLMs' performance in hardware design tasks. The MG-Verilog dataset is structured to include both high-level and detailed descriptions, mirroring the learning and design processes of human designers. The dataset is designed to be extensible and integrable, making it suitable for various research and practical applications. The balanced fine-tuning scheme randomly selects training samples with varying levels of descriptions to ensure a balanced input for LLMs, addressing the challenges of both high-level and detailed descriptions. Experimental results show that models fine-tuned with the MG-Verilog dataset outperform those trained on other datasets in terms of code generation accuracy and sophistication. The paper also discusses the impact of different evaluation settings and the number of training samples on model performance, providing insights into the optimal use of the MG-Verilog dataset for LLM-assisted hardware design.The paper "MG-Verilog: Multi-grained Dataset Towards Enhanced LLM-assisted Verilog Generation" by Yongan Zhang, Zhongzhi Yu, Yonggan Fu, Cheng Wan, and Yingyan (Celine) Lin addresses the limitations of existing hardware datasets in enhancing the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) for hardware design tasks.
