Computer systems research is often inhibited by the availability of
|
|
memory designs. Existing Process Design Kits (PDKs) frequently lack
|
|
memory compilers, while expensive commercial solutions only provide
|
|
memory models with immutable cells, limited configurations, and
|
|
restrictive licenses. Manually creating memories can be time consuming
|
|
and tedious and the designs are usually inflexible. This paper
|
|
introduces OpenRAM, an open-source memory compiler, that provides a
|
|
platform for the generation, characterization, and verification of
|
|
fabricable memory designs across various technologies, sizes, and
|
|
configurations. It enables research in computer architecture,
|
|
system-on-chip design, memory circuit and device research, and
|
|
computer-\allowbreak aided design.
