chip-design-space-explorer

chip-design-space-explorer is a skill for Claude Code from zhaixin244-wq/fnw. It costs 74 tokens per session (898 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-space exploration assistant for chip hardware. It compares design choices such as pipeline depth, parallelism, cache size, bus width, frequency, and voltage using area, performance, and power estimates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Evaluating chip design alternatives, finding Pareto-optimal choices, comparing latency, throughput, area, and power, and recommending a design with its trade-offs and risks.
Why use it?
Hardware changes often improve one measure while worsening another. This helps compare combinations and find options that are not clearly worse across all three measures.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chip-design-space-explorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Chip Design Space Explorer

任务

在 Area-Performance-Power 三维空间中进行设计空间探索(DSE),寻找帕累托最优解集。

执行步骤

  1. 明确探索变量(设计旋钮):
    • 流水线级数、并行度、缓存大小、总线宽度、工作频率、电压域配置等。
  2. 建立简化评估模型(解析模型或基于经验的快速估算)。
  3. 枚举或采样设计点,计算每个设计点的 PPA 指标。
  4. 使用帕累托支配关系筛选非支配解集(Pareto Frontier)。
  5. 可视化结果:
    • 以 Markdown 表格列出关键设计点
    • 使用 Mermaid 或 ASCII 绘制二维投影图(Latency vs Area、Power vs Performance 等)
  6. 给出推荐设计点及理由(考虑裕量、物理可实现性、验证复杂度)。

输出格式

### DSE 结果(帕累托前沿)

| 设计点 | 配置摘要 | 延迟 (ns) | 吞吐 (GB/s) | 面积 (kGates) | 功耗 (mW) | 帕累托最优 |
|--------|----------|-----------|-------------|---------------|-----------|------------|
| A | 3级流水线, 64b总线 | 5.0 | 12.8 | 80 | 15 | ✓ |
| B | 5级流水线, 128b总线 | 3.2 | 25.6 | 150 | 28 | ✓ |

### 推荐设计点
**推荐:B**
- 理由:...
- 风险:...

使用示例

示例 1:FIFO 深度 DSE

用户:帮我探索 data_adpt 的 FIFO 深度设计空间,突发量 32 beats,生产者速率 1B/cycle,消费者速率 0.5B/cycle

预期行为:

  1. 以 FIFO 深度为设计旋钮(16/32/64/128)
  2. 计算每个深度的面积、功耗、溢出风险
  3. 输出帕累托前沿表 + 推荐深度

示例 2:流水线级数 DSE

用户:data_adpt 的处理路径可以做 3/4/5 级流水线,帮我比选最优方案

预期行为:枚举 3 个设计点,计算延迟/吞吐/面积/功耗,标注帕累托最优解

异常处理

场景 触发条件 处理动作
设计旋钮未定义 用户未指定探索变量 列出常见旋钮(流水线级数/并行度/缓存/总线宽度/频率),用户选择
评估模型缺失 无法估算 PPA 使用经验公式 + 标注"待综合验证",建议 DSE 后跑综合确认
设计点过多 > 100 个组合 使用拉丁超立方采样减少到 20-30 个代表点
帕累托前沿为空 所有设计点被支配 检查约束条件是否过紧,建议放宽 1-2 个约束重新探索

检查点

  • 探索前:展示设计旋钮列表和约束条件,用户确认后开始枚举
  • 探索后:展示帕累托前沿表格和推荐点,用户选择最终方案

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

chip-design-space-explorer is a skill published in the GitHub repository zhaixin244-wq/fnw (29 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 898 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
