ChipMATE: Multi-Agent Training via Reinforcement Learning for Enhanced RTL Generation

Existing API-based agentic systems for RTL code generation are fundamentally misaligned with industrial practice: they assume a golden testbench is available at generation time, rely on closed-source APIs incompatible with chip vendors' air-gapped security requirements, and cannot be trained on vendors' proprietary RTL codebases, leaving valuable internal data unused. Recent self-trained models address the deployment constraint but remain single-turn generators that overlook the critical role of verification in real industrial flows. To bridge these gaps, we present ChipMATE, the first self-trained multi-agent framework for RTL generation. Inspired by industrial practice where correctness emerges from cross-comparison between independently written RTL modules and reference models, ChipMATE pairs a Verilog agent with a Python reference-model agent that mutually verify each other's outputs without any golden oracle. We design a backtrack-based inference workflow to prevent error propagation across turns, and a two-stage training pipeline that first trains each agent individually to saturate its code-generation capability, then trains the team jointly to collaborate effectively. To support the training, we further build a hybrid data-generation framework that produces 64.4K high-quality reference model training samples. ChipMATE achieves 75.0\% and 80.1\% pass@1 on VerilogEval V2 with 4B and 9B base models, outperforming all existing self-trained models and even DeepSeek V4 with 1600B parameters. Our code and model weights are publicly available in https://github.com/zhongkaiyu/ChipMATE.

MetaAgent-X : Breaking the Ceiling of Automatic Multi-Agent Systems via End-to-End Reinforcement Learning

Automatic multi-agent systems aim to instantiate agent workflows without relying on manually designed or fixed orchestration. However, existing automatic MAS approaches remain only partially adaptive: they either perform training-free test-time search or optimize the meta-level designer while keeping downstream execution agents frozen, which creating a frozen-executor ceiling and leaving the end-to-end training of self-designing and self-executing agentic models unexplored. To address this, we introduce MetaAgent-X, an end-to-end reinforcement learning framework that jointly optimizes automatic MAS design and execution. MetaAgent-X enables script-based MAS generation, execution rollout collection, and credit assignment for both designer and executor trajectories. To support stable and scalable optimization, we propose Executor Designer Hierarchical Rollout and Stagewise Co-evolution to improve training stability and expose the dynamics of designer-executor co-evolution. MetaAgent-X consistently outperforms existing automatic MAS baselines, achieving up to 21.7% gains. Comprehensive ablations show that both designer and executor improve throughout training, and that effective automatic MAS learning follows a stagewise co-evolution process. These results establish end-to-end trainable automatic MAS as a practical paradigm for building self-designing and self-executing agentic models.

Sibyl: Forecasting Time-Evolving Query Workloads

Database systems often rely on historical query traces to perform workload-based performance tuning. However, real production workloads are time-evolving, making historical queries ineffective for optimizing future workloads. To address this challenge, we propose SIBYL, an end-to-end machine learning-based framework that accurately forecasts a sequence of future queries, with the entire query statements, in various prediction windows. Drawing insights from real-workloads, we propose template-based featurization techniques and develop a stacked-LSTM with an encoder-decoder architecture for accurate forecasting of query workloads. We also develop techniques to improve forecasting accuracy over large prediction windows and achieve high scalability over large workloads with high variability in arrival rates of queries. Finally, we propose techniques to handle workload drifts. Our evaluation on four real workloads demonstrates that SIBYL can forecast workloads with an $87.3\%$ median F1 score, and can result in $1.7\times$ and $1.3\times$ performance improvement when applied to materialized view selection and index selection applications, respectively.

Efficient Implementation of Multi-Channel Convolution in Monolithic 3D ReRAM Crossbar

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) demonstrate promising accuracy in a wide range of applications. Among all layers in CNNs, convolution layers are the most computation-intensive and consume the most energy. As the maturity of device and fabrication technology, 3D resistive random access memory (ReRAM) receives substantial attention for accelerating large vector-matrix multiplication and convolution due to its high parallelism and energy efficiency benefits. However, implementing multi-channel convolution naively in 3D ReRAM will either produce incorrect results or exploit only partial parallelism of 3D ReRAM. In this paper, we propose a 3D ReRAM-based convolution accelerator architecture, which efficiently maps multi-channel convolution to monolithic 3D ReRAM. Our design has two key principles. First, we exploit the intertwined structure of 3D ReRAM to implement multi-channel convolution by using a state-of-the-art convolution algorithm. Second, we propose a new approach to efficiently implement negative weights by separating them from non-negative weights using configurable interconnects. Our evaluation demonstrates that our mapping scheme in 16-layer 3D ReRAM achieves a speedup of 5.79X, 927.81X, and 36.8X compared with a custom 2D ReRAM baseline and state-of-the-art CPU and GPU. Our design also reduces energy consumption by 2.12X, 1802.64X, and 114.1X compared with the same baseline.
