Colloqui di dipartimento

Il giorno 21 Gennaio alle ore 16 presso la sala riunioni 412, il Dr. N. Biesuz (INFN Ferrara) terra' un seminario dal titolo ChatGPT and HDL: is it that simple?

Abstract

This talk explores the integration of AI into FPGA design, focusing on my experience using ChatGPT to develop a VHDL component. During the presentation a brief introduction to Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) will be given, highlighting their importance in modern digital design. Following this, a historical overview of VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) will be provided, outlining its evolution and significance in hardware development. The core of the talk will describe the task I aimed to accomplish, detailing the process of leveraging ChatGPT for VHDL coding assistance. I will share the challenges encountered, the solutions proposed by the AI, and the steps required to refine the generated code to ensure it functioned as intended. The session will conclude with reflections on the potential and limitations of using AI tools like ChatGPT in FPGA and VHDL design workflows.
