# branch=pd
|
|
|
|
* for source experiments (parameters, etc. to change core gen), and other source updates for PD
|
|
|
|
### minimize cache/queues/etc. for eFabless
|
|
|
|
* the parameters were likely not tested much, and may have dependencies, etc.
|
|
* see which ones can change and still compile/run simple test; document dependencies
|
|
|
|
### test OpenROAD tools
|
|
|
|
1. attempt unit (or sub-unit) synthesis and static timing, using blackbox arrays amd estimated wiring for some pdk (equivalent to a CI timing script to catch functional changes that break timing)
|
|
|
|
* what are the OR steps to do this?
|
|
|
|
* floorplan - unbounded?
|
|
* pins - no placement if no bounds, and relaxed i/o assertions?
|
|
* tap cells/power dist/etc. - not needed (account for in estimated wiring?)
|
|
* clock tree synthesis - no (assume ideal clocks + fudge)
|
|
* iterate
|
|
* placement
|
|
* cap/slew/fo checks
|
|
* setup/hold
|
|
|
|
* are results consistent with expected cycle time?
