Request for more details about compilation and hardware generation

[Ivecia]

Thanks for your amazing work!

I have noticed that novia-1.5.0 has been updated several months ago, and I'm trying to reproduce the result of your paper. I have tried the newest commit of novia-1.5.0, and it seems that some scripts are broken and novia may crash sometimes.

Could you please provide more information about the compilation and hardware generation parts? Thanks in advance!

Problems I have met are:

• Script error: /opt/NOVIA/fusion/analysis/scripts/testing.sh: No such file or directory https://github.com/IBM/NOVIA/blob/7f388e07c0c5fb7d3cd4ddc74197d14e38e6a9f1/fusion/analysis/scripts/novia.sh#L130
• opt: /opt/NOVIA/llvm-project/llvm/include/llvm/Support/Casting.h:269: typename llvm::cast_retty<X, Y*>::ret_type llvm::cast(Y*) [with X = llvm::Instruction; Y = llvm::Value; typename llvm::cast_retty<X, Y*>::ret_type = llvm::Instruction*]: Assertion isa<X>(Val) && "cast<Ty>() argument of incompatible type!"' failed.
• Some of the process may output A LOT OF half or some big negative number
• Can not validate the NFU using ariane core (after fixing some errors)
