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.

Instructions

Using Google Colaboratory

• Open https://colab.research.google.com/github/proppy/silicon-notebooks/blob/main/xls-workshop-openlane.ipynb
• Execute the first cell
• Follow along the instructions

Using JupyterLab locally (Linux)

• Run the following commands

git clone https://github.com/proppy/silicon-notebooks.git
cd silicon-notebooks
python3 -m venv env
env/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
env/bin/jupyter lab xls-workshop-openlane.ipynb

• Execute the first cell
