Thermal analysis provides deeper insights into electronic chips behavior under different temperature scenarios and enables faster design exploration. However, obtaining detailed and accurate thermal profile on chip is very time-consuming using FEM or CFD. Therefore, there is an urgent need for speeding up the on-chip thermal solution to address various system scenarios. In this paper, we propose a thermal machine-learning (ML) solver to speed-up thermal simulations of chips. The thermal ML-Solver is an extension of the recent novel approach, CoAEMLSim (Composable Autoencoder Machine Learning Simulator) with modifications to the solution algorithm to handle constant and distributed HTC. The proposed method is validated against commercial solvers, such as Ansys MAPDL, as well as a latest ML baseline, UNet, under different scenarios to demonstrate its enhanced accuracy, scalability, and generalizability.

We present four main contributions to enhance the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in generating domain-specific code: (i) utilizing LLM-based data splitting and data renovation techniques to improve the semantic representation of embeddings' space; (ii) introducing the Chain of Density for Renovation Credibility (CoDRC), driven by LLMs, and the Adaptive Text Renovation (ATR) algorithm for assessing data renovation reliability; (iii) developing the Implicit Knowledge Expansion and Contemplation (IKEC) Prompt technique; and (iv) effectively refactoring existing scripts to generate new and high-quality scripts with LLMs. By using engineering simulation software RedHawk-SC as a case study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our data pre-processing method for expanding and categorizing scripts. When combined with IKEC, these techniques enhance the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) method in retrieving more relevant information, ultimately achieving a 73.33% "Percentage of Correct Lines" for code generation problems in MapReduce applications.
