How AlphaChip transformed computer chip design


Our AI method has accelerated and optimized chip design, and its superhuman chip layouts are used in hardware around the world. AlphaChip was one of the first reinforcement learning approaches...

Beyond designing specialized AI accelerators like TPUs, AlphaChip has generated layouts for other chips across Alphabet, such as Google Axion Processors, our first Arm-based general-purpose data center CPUs. We’re so grateful to our amazing coauthors: Mustafa Yazgan, Joe Wenjie Jiang, Ebrahim Songhori, Shen Wang, Young-Joon Lee, Eric Johnson, Omkar Pathak, Azade Nazi, Jiwoo Pak, Andy Tong, Kavya Srinivasa, William Hang, Emre Tuncer, Quoc V. Le, James Laudon, Richard Ho, Roger Carpenter and Jeff Dean. We especially appreciate Joe Wenjie Jiang, Ebrahim Songhori, Young-Joon Lee, Roger Carpenter, and Sergio Guadarrama’s continued efforts to land this production impact, Quoc V. Le for his research advice and mentorship, and our senior author Jeff Dean for his support and deep technical discussions.
