The OpenROAD 7nm Design Contest Results are announced!

The OpenROAD 7nm Design contest broke many barriers– engaging a diverse global community to participate, learn and compete to solve challenging design problems using popular RISC-V base cores and an advanced technology node using asap7. Participants had the opportunity to learn IC design skills and apply the OpenROAD native flow -OpenROAD-flow-scripts through custom training videos and collaboration with experienced TAs.

It was a great opportunity for many to showcase their creativity and skills. We are glad to announce the winners : https://lnkd.in/gfUdkYbp
