How about benchmarking Opensource openSTA against ——?
So, I took up two STA tools, OpenSTA from openroad project and “——-” from “——-“, to explain, to some extent, what “bench-marking” means to me. I would also encourage everyone reading this blog to come up with their definitions of “bench-marks” for other tools and we can model that. You can fill-up “——” with one of your favorite industry grade EDA tools. The concept of benchmark won’t change
After SHAKTI processor, another master-stroke by Prof. V. Kamakoti
Online university Course name – Foundation of Computer Systems Design
This course is being taught by Prof. V. Kamakoti, who needs no introduction, who lead India’s first RISC-V microprocessor SHAKTI teamand made all of us proud.
‘Made in India’ SHAKTI processor on VSDFLOW – Now that’s exciting
With learning being online, SHAKTI core and ‘vsdflow’ being opensource, this is first-time in the history of VLSI design & EDA (thanks to RISC-V ecosystem and Shakti Team at IITM lead by Prof. Kamakoti), a chip will ever be taped-out using all open source flow, which will cater to almost 80% Indian Semiconductor Market.
Opensource EDA tool installation issue – Resolved
Hi Vlsi
Your feedback has been continuously pushing us to the edge. And I really want to Thank You for all the support you have been giving over the past. Its due to this push, we are now releasing (especially for VLSI freshers), a package, which you just need to download/run. That would install all opensource EDA tools on your UNIX machine plus run a complete RTL-2-GDS on RISC-V core ‘picorv32’.
All you need to do is go to below github link, and follow simple 5 steps given in the README of below link:
A new golden age for computer architecture by Prof. David Patterson
In last 50 years, there are 3 lessons that we can draw. First – software advances can inspire architecture innovations. Second – when we raise the hardware/software interface, it creates opportunities for architecture innovation. Third – in our field, the way we settle these debates, isn’t by just arguing in a bar, rather people spent/invest billions of dollars to investigate their ideas and marketplace settles these debates
History etched with VSDOpen2018 – First VLSI online conference….
Hi “Pictures speak it all” Finally, we all did it – VSDOpen – first ever online VLSI conference. Very close to a real one – […]
Conclusion: Time to productize and monetize your open-source Idea with VSD
“Design at $0” is an initiative driven by our team at VSD.Working in open environment is much easier process as all the resources are openly available, but here arise the loophole.
Paper 5: Introduction to TL-Ver & Front-End Symposium
Steve Hoover is the founder of Redwood EDA. Steve holds a BS in electrical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an MS in computer science from the University of Illinois. He has designed numerous components for high-performance server CPUs and network architectures for DEC, Compaq, and Intel. Students will learn Transaction-Level Verilog modelingtechniques to generate Verilog models in half the time using the makerchip.comfree online IDE. A new open-source RISC-V CPU development effort will be introduced that showcases flexible IP design practices.
