Colab Quickstart#
Notebook-based packaging offers three main benefits:
Colab is completely free to use and can be accessed from any web browser.
Colab notebooks can be easily shared with others, making it a great tool for teams to collaborate and manage OpenROAD design runs.
The notebook can easily be modified to be used for on-premise servers or notebook-based cloud providers such as LambdaLabs/Paperspace.
We provide two notebooks for a quickstart to OpenROAD-flow-scripts functionality as follows:
OpenROAD-flow-scripts Automated RTL-GDSII Flow#
The notebook for the automated flow for gcd design in nangate45 technology node can be found here.
AutoTuner Flow#
