OpenRAM Layout verses Schematic (LVS) visualization

Mon, 29 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

As part of the OpenRAM Layout verses Schematic (LVS) visualization my proposal under the mentorship of Jesse Cirimelli-Low and Matthew Guthaus aims to develop a comprehensive Python-based graphical user interface (GUI) with a robust backend system to effectively analyze, visualize, and debug layout versus schematic (LVS) mismatches in the OpenRAM framework. The proposed solution focuses on efficiently processing LVS report files in JSON format, identifying mismatched nets in the layout, and visually representing extra nets in the schematic graph using advanced backend algorithms. By implementing a powerful backend system, the GUI will streamline the debugging process and improve overall productivity, while maintaining high performance and reliability. The deliverables for this project include a fully-functional GUI with a performant backend, features for visualizing and navigating through LVS mismatches, comprehensive documentation, and user guides.
