Looking for ways to up-scale your physical design and EDA career? Look no further than the upcoming contest, which offers a range of exciting problem statements that will challenge you and allow you to showcase your skills. Take, for instance, enhancing the OpenROAD GUI Flow Manager by developing custom features for analysis and visualizations. You'll support native and third-party flows, including OpenROAD-flow-scripts, and others. This is an excellent opportunity to create documentation, commands, developer guide notes, and tutorials to show GUI usage for supported flows.

Another contest problem statement is profiling and tuning the OpenROAD flow for runtime improvements. You'll develop verifiable and reproducible strategies to improve run times in OpenROAD-flow-scripts. This includes optimizing computational resources over the cloud, tuning algorithmic and design flow parameters, and creating test plans using existing or new designs to show runtime improvements. You can also update OpenROAD documentation and tutorials by reviewing and updating missing documentation and tutorials in OpenROAD-flow-scripts for existing and new features. You can test the accuracy of generated LIB and LEF models for signoff in OpenROAD-flow-scripts for flat and hierarchical design flows. Build test cases to validate and add to the regression suite.
