ASIC Design Using OpenROAD

UCSC Silicon Valley Extension 3175 Bowers Ave, Santa Clara, CA, United States

Join us for a free, half-day workshop on the key concepts of an ASIC design physical implementation flow using OpenROAD.  OpenROAD delivers a fast, barrier-free, and low-cost RTL-to-GDS, no-human-in-loop flow for design above 12nm and is one of the tools students can work with in UCSC Silicon Valley Extension VLSI Engineering program courses Knowing how to use open EDA tools boosts… ASIC Design Using OpenROAD

3rd Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation

Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp Antwerp, Belgium

Call for papers There is no doubt that proprietary EDA tools are successful, mature, and fundamental for hardware development. However, the “walled garden” approach created by closed-source tool flows can hamper novel FPGA/ASIC-based applications and EDA innovation alike by requiring that researchers either operate within the limits of what has already been imagined, or require… 3rd Workshop on Open-Source Design Automation

Open-source silicon and EDA workshop 2024

Sorbonne Université 15-21 Rue de l'École de Médecine, Paris, France

The chip design ecosystem in Europe is challenged by expensive development tools, legal constraints, lock-in threats and dependency on external supply chains. Open-source Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and open-source silicon chips are emerging as possible solutions to these problems. It is increasingly recognised that open-source development offers not only faster and cheaper development but… Open-source silicon and EDA workshop 2024
