PicoRV32 RTL-to-GDS (Claude Code, 700 MHz): leaderboard
This benchmark asks a coding agent to take a PicoRV32 RISC-V core from RTL to a finished layout with commercial chip-design tools, covering synthesis, floorplan and power, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing and engineering change order on a 55-nm setup. This board runs the Claude Code agent without domain skills at a tight 700 MHz clock target. The score combines stage completion and design quality on a 0-100 scale.
Metric: End-to-end design score (0-100) for the PicoRV32 RTL-to-GDS flow the agent drives through commercial EDA tools, covering synthesis, floorplan and power, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, engineering change order and final reports on a commercial 55-nm setup at a tight 700 MHz clock target; the Claude Code agent with no domain skills; one run per cell.
