Automated source code generation and optimization using large language models and reinforcement learning

A system comprising:

• a memory comprising computer readable instructions;
• and
• a processing device for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the processing device to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, via a user interface, goals and parameters for a source code generation process, wherein the goals and parameters include at least one of performance metrics, resource utilization metrics, functionality metrics, security metrics, or sustainability metrics;
• obtaining, from a large language model (LLM), an initial source code based on the goals and parameters;
• compiling the initial source code into an executable program;
• benchmarking the executable program to obtain benchmarking results, wherein the benchmarking results include at least one of performance results, resource utilization results, functionality results, security results, or sustainability results;
• comparing the benchmarking results to the at least one of performance metrics, resource utilization metrics, functionality metrics, security metrics, or sustainability metrics;
• and
• based on a determination that the benchmarking results meet all of the least one of performance metrics, outputting, via the user interface, the source code and the benchmarking results.

A computer program product for circuit design optimization, the computer program product comprising:

• a set of one or more computer-readable storage media;
• program instructions, collectively stored in the set of one or more storage media, for causing a processor set to perform the following computer operations:
• receiving, via a user interface, goals and parameters for a source code generation process, wherein the goals and parameters include at least one of performance metrics, resource utilization metrics, functionality metrics, security metrics, or sustainability metrics;
• obtaining, from a large language model (LLM), an initial source code based on the goals and parameters;
• compiling the initial source code into an executable program;
• benchmarking the executable program to obtain benchmarking results, wherein the benchmarking results include at least one of performance results, resource utilization results, functionality results, security results, or sustainability results;
• comparing the benchmarking results to the at least one of performance metrics, resource utilization metrics, functionality metrics, security metrics, or sustainability metrics;
• and
• based on a determination that the benchmarking results meet all of the least one of performance metrics, outputting, via the user interface, the source code and the benchmarking results.
