DiffHLS: Differential Learning for High-Level Synthesis QoR Prediction with GNNs and LLM Code Embeddings

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.09240v1 Announce Type: new High-Level Synthesis (HLS) compiles C/C++ into RTL, but exploring pragma-driven optimization choices remains expensive because each design point requires time-consuming synthesis. We propose \textbf{\DiffHLS}, a differential learning framework for HLS Quality-of-Result (QoR) prediction that learns from kernel--design pairs: a kernel baseline and a pragma-inserted design variant.
