Enabling Design Technology Co-Optimization of SRAMs through Open-Source Software

OpenRAM is an open-source memory compiler infrastructure that can enable Design Technology Co-Optimization of SRAMs. SRAM DTCO is often plagued by limited access to robust, featured memory compilers. In particular, each technology often "reinvents the wheel" whereas using open-source memory compilation can leverage recurring needs of verification, circuit implementation, and tool compatibility to give a true insight from technology all the way to design.
