OpenROAD Project: History & Applications

The OpenROAD Project (Open Realization of Autonomous Design) is a major open-source project that aims to provide a fully automated, end-to-end digital integrated circuit design flow (RTL-to-GDSII), thereby eliminating the need for human intervention. The project, led by UC San Diego, aims to democratize hardware design and promote rapid innovation in…
