OpenROAD platform. Learn to navigate the complete RTL-to-GDSII flow, an automated process that transforms a high-level circuit description into a physical chip layout ready for manufacturing. We’ll explore key concepts like logic synthesis, floor planning, placement, and routing, giving you the practical skills needed to design your own integrated circuits. This session is tailored for students, researchers, and engineers who want to enter the world of chip design without the high cost of traditional software. We’ll guide you through setting up the OpenROAD environment, running a complete design, and analyzing the results, empowering you to leverage the power of open-source tools for your next project.
