LLM Benchmarks for Assertion Generation Literature Review

Timeline of works

Goal

  • Find out existing benchmarks to evaluation LLMs on assertion generation
  • The inputs maybe spec+RTL, RTL only or spec only
  • The output is always SystemVerilog assertions

Methodology

  • I was able to list a couple of work off the top of my head
Title Authors Affiliation Venue
AssertionBench Pulavarthi et al. UIC , Microsoft NAACL ‘25
FVEval Kang et al. UCB, Nvidia DATE ‘25
AssertLLM Fang et al. HKUST ICLAD ‘24, ASP-DAC ‘25
  • I assumed newer benchmarks would have to cite these and older benchmarks would have been cited by these.

Out of these, I consider the following to be closely related to our work

  • AssertionBench
  • FVEval (RTL2SVA)
  • AssertLLM2

The following are works which has assertion generation as a component

  • CVDP
  • FIXME
