Testimonials
"OpenROAD was essential for the class I taught. The flow was easy to set up and the ramp-up was very fast. Students were able to learn and gain practical experience with EDA tools: analyze reports, debug errors, optimize the design, and have a free and safe environment for experimentation and exploration. OpenROAD is, without a doubt, democratizing VLSI education and spurring research opportunities–it gave me the chance to teach a class I couldn’t afford."
Prof Erick Carvajal
University of Costa Rica
"By leveraging OpenROAD as we explore architectures, get rapid feedback to make important and reliable hardware and software trade offs early in the design cycle before we commit to physical implementation at a fraction of the cost from using commercial tools."
Øyvind Harboe
VP of Engineering at Ascenium
"I highly appreciate the time and effort taken by the OpenROAD team in developing a VLSI design flow based on open-source concepts. Each of these stages needs specialized expertise --I am highly impressed by the OpenROAD team. Their response to users on problem fixes and feature requests is better than a commercial tool vendor support team."
