2023 has been a year of Rapid expansion and innovation for the OpenROAD project: Project outreach, new application capabilities, support for Education and Workforce programs and more! OpenROAD 2023: A Year of Expansion Goodbye 2023! Hello 2024! Greetings and a Happy New Year from the Precision Innovations team and The...
Precision Innovations is partnering with Abacus Semiconductor Corporation to expand the use of open-source based SoC design software as part of its FOSS and Security ecosystem. Precision’s OpenROAD based SoC design tools with proprietary extensions use permissive licensing thereby providing key advantages of open, collaborative, rapid design turn-around with security...
The OpenROAD 7nm Design contest broke many barriers– engaging a diverse global community to participate, learn and compete to solve challenging design problems using popular RISC-V base cores and an advanced technology node using asap7. Participants had the opportunity to learn IC design skills and apply the OpenROAD native flow...
Static IR drop is critical at advanced node design closure. We invite you to participate in this interesting and challenging OpenROAD-based ML contest by Steel Perlot and ASU announced at ICCAD 2023:https://lnkd.in/g-uMNjSU. Problem C: https://lnkd.in/guMGRD4E . Stay tuned for more updates!...
Developed with funding from DARPA MTO’s Intelligent Design of Electronic Assets (IDEA) program, OpenROAD™ provides Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and System on Chip (SoC) design teams with an open source, no-human-in-loop, 24-hour chip place-and-route solution. OpenROAD’s value proposition is that it brings down the barriers of cost, expertise and...
2022 has been a very exciting and productive year for the OpenROAD™ project. We made good progress across main project areas including core technologies, tool quality, PPA outcomes and targeted outreach programs. This has led to a wider usage of our tools in various applications and an exponential growth in...
OpenROAD™ aims to continually improve the quality of the application and results i.e PPA for designs. One of the ways to do this is to track CI both internally within the project tools and design repository and enable users to manage their design and CI environment. OpenROAD uses METRICS2.1 to...
OpenROAD™ is a foundational application for open-source VLSI design from RTL to GDSII. It is used widely by many popular Open Source tools and initiatives that foster and enable ASIC and FPGA design flows and methodologies. One such initiative is FASoC, a DARPA-funded program across multiple universities and industry leaders...
