Abstract

In this tutorial session we showcase our recent work to leverage Jupyter Notebooks and Conda packages to publish and share interactive experiments using open source silicon toolchains.

Notebooks published at https://github.com/chipsalliance/silicon-notebooks demonstrate how to run experiments from design to gds using publicly-hosted notebooks using https://colab.research.google.com/ or https://jupyter.org/ locally.
