| # Colab Quickstart |
|
|
| Notebook-based packaging offers three main benefits: |
| 1. Colab is completely free to use and can be accessed from any web browser. |
| 1. Colab notebooks can be easily shared with others, making it a great |
| tool for teams to collaborate and manage OpenROAD design runs. |
| 1. The notebook can easily be modified to be used for on-premise servers or |
| notebook-based cloud providers such as LambdaLabs/Paperspace. |
|
|
| We provide two notebooks for a quickstart to OpenROAD-flow-scripts functionality |
| as follows: |
|
|
| ## OpenROAD-flow-scripts Automated RTL-GDSII Flow |
|
|
| The notebook for the automated flow for `gcd` design in `nangate45` technology node can be found [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1bfcvqOnbw8q7FmSONLw8q7-yBVvKsQot). |
|
|
| ## AutoTuner Flow |
|
|
| The notebook for the OpenROAD-flow-scripts AutoTuner flow for `gcd` design in `sky130hd` technology node can be found [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wye0osn34YVWPvTrfBTftjOfGOtF3ABe). |
