Code Detection for Hardware Acceleration Using Large Language Models
share
Large language models (LLMs) have been massively applied to many tasks, often surpassing state-of-the-art approaches. While their effectiveness in code generation has been extensively studied (e.g., AlphaCode), their potential for code detection remains unexplored. This work presents the first analysis of code detection using LLMs. Our study examines essential kernels, including matrix multiplication, convolution, and fast-fourier transform, implemented in C/C++. We propose both a preliminary, naive prompt and a novel prompting strategy for code detection. Results reveal that conventional prompting achieves great precision but poor accuracy (68.8 due to a high number of false positives. Our novel prompting strategy substantially reduces false positives, resulting in excellent overall accuracy (91.1 challenge to existing state-of-the-art code detection methods.
