About OpenROAD™

Problem: Hardware design requires too much effort, cost and time.
Challenge: Costs and the “expertise gap” block system designers’ access to advanced technology.
Objective:  Enable no-human-in-loop, 24-hour design to remove the barrier to hardware innovation

Foundations and Realization of Open, Accessible Design

Our Goals

24-hour, No-Human-In-The-Loop layout design for SOC with no Power-Performance-Area (PPA) loss Tapeout-capable tools in source code form, with permissive licensing → seed future “Linux of EDA”
