Announcing the OpenROAD 7nm Physical Design Contest

The OpenROAD Project and VLSI System Design announced the inaugural OpenROAD 7nm Physical Design Contest — breaking barriers with open-source VLSI!

OpenROAD breaks down cost, skills and access barriers to ASIC design to enable users to rapidly innovate and implement their designs. This contest challenged designers to apply open-source VLSI tools to real-world problems, advancing the mission of democratizing chip design.
