摘要
High-level synthesis (HLS) can translate C/C++ kernels into register-transfer level (RTL) designs, yet generating high-quality hardware still relies heavily on manual pragma tuning and repeated synthesis evaluation. We propose AutoC2V, a C++-to-Verilog generation framework driven by real synthesis feedback that enables large language models (LLMs) to directly generate RTL with improved quality of results (QoR) from synthesizable C++ kernels. We construct training data from real synthesis results, including synthesizable C++ source code, the corresponding Verilog RTL, QoR metrics, and optimization objectives. Using this dataset, we align the model toward synthesis-aware RTL generation through Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). To reduce the high cost of repeatedly invoking real synthesis during GRPO, we design the QoR Prediction Reward Model (QoR RM), which predicts latency and resource metrics by encoding RTL into long-context semantic representations, thereby providing low-cost and continuous QoR reward signals for policy optimization. Experimental results demonstrate that AutoC2V not only substantially improves RTL functional pass rates, but also achieves superior latency and resource optimization compared to the unfine-tuned base model, representative HLS optimization approaches (HLSPilot, LLM-DSE, and AutoDSE), and advanced general-purpose commercial models (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, DeepSeek v4 Pro, and GLM-5.2). These results indicate that combining real synthesis data with efficient QoR reward modeling can further improve the ability of LLMs to generate high-quality RTL.
