SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually sweeping hardware or toolchain parameters to find an optimal configuration is slow, error-prone, and hard to track. This Skill runs an autonomous run-analyze-tune loop that explores a design space until an objective is met, a timeout is reached, or progress stalls. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Autonomous Iterative Search: Runs a program, parses the objective metric, picks the next parameter set, and repeats with configurable timeout, iteration cap, and patience-based early stopping. - Parameter Range Inference: Reads source code (argparse definitions, config files, SystemVerilog parameters, Makefiles) to infer sensible ranges when the user only names the knobs to tune. - Structured Logging and Recovery: Records every run in dse_log.csv, maintains DSE_STATE.json for mid-run recovery, and produces a final DSE_REPORT.md with best configuration, sensitivity analysis, and recommendations. - Use Case: Tune gem5 cache size, associativity, and ROB entries to maximize IPC over a 3-hour budget, or sweep yosys synthesis options to minimize area while meeting timing closure. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run a DSE loop on your simulation or synthesis command, naming the parameters to tune, the objective metric, and a time budget.

Frequently Asked Questions about dse-loop

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run design space exploration on gem5 simulations?▼

Invoke the DSE loop with your gem5 command, the parameters to tune such as L1D_SIZE, L2_SIZE, and ROB_ENTRIES, an objective like maximizing IPC, and a timeout. The loop runs baseline and sweep iterations, logs results, and converges on the best configuration.

How to sweep synthesis parameters in yosys automatically?▼

Provide the make synth command, parameters like CLOCK_PERIOD, FLATTEN, and ABC_SCRIPT, and an objective such as minimizing area at timing closure. The loop enumerates options, checks timing constraints each run, and reports the best feasible point.

What happens if I don't specify parameter ranges?▼

The loop reads your source code for argparse definitions, config files, or HDL parameters to find defaults and types, then applies domain heuristics like powers of two for cache sizes. Inferred ranges are written to dse_results/inferred_params.md for review.

Can the DSE loop recover after an interrupted run?▼

Yes, state is persisted in DSE_STATE.json and dse_log.csv after every iteration. On restart, the loop reads the current iteration, best parameters, and patience counter, then resumes from the next unevaluated design point.

When does the design space exploration stop early?▼

Exploration stops when the timeout is reached, the iteration cap is hit, no improvement occurs for the configured patience count, or the success criteria are met. Constraint-violating points never count as improvements regardless of metric value.
