QuArch: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Reasoning in Computer Architecture
Quick summary
arXiv:2510.22087v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The field of computer architecture, which bridges high-level software abstractions and low-level hardware implementations, remains absent from current large language model (LLM) evaluations. To this end, we present QuArch (pronounced 'quark'), the first benchmark designed to facilitate the development and evaluation of LLM knowledge and reasoning capabilities specifically in computer architecture. QuArch v1.0 provides a comprehensive collection of 2,671 expert-validated question-answer (QA) pairs covering various aspects of computer arc

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
