OpenROAD is a non-profit project funded by DARPA and sponsored by Google that creates low-cost and innovative Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and flows for IC design. Through open source and native innovation, OpenROAD aim to democratize IC design, break down barriers of access and reduce schedule risk. An OpenROAD flow provides fast ASIC design exploration, QoR estimation and physical implementation for a variety of technologies above 12 nm using an autonomous, no-human-in-the-loop, 24-hour RTL-GDSII flow. The goal is dedicated to a diverse community of designers, researchers, enthusiasts, software engineers and entrepreneurs to make a significant impact through the use and contribution of OpenROAD. With a rapidly growing and diverse user community, OpenROAD has been used on more than 600 tapeouts across a range of ASIC applications.
