\section{Conclusions}
|
|
\label{sec:conclusions}
|
|
This paper introduced OpenRAM, an open-source and portable memory
|
|
compiler. OpenRAM generates the circuit, functional model, and layout
|
|
of variable-sized SRAMs. In addition, a memory characterizer
|
|
provides synthesis timing/power models.
|
|
|
|
The main motivation behind OpenRAM is to promote and simplify
|
|
memory-related research in academia. Since OpenRAM is open-sourced,
|
|
flexible, and portable, this memory compiler can be adapted to various
|
|
technologies and is easily modified to address specific design
|
|
requirements. Therefore, OpenRAM provides a platform to implement and test
|
|
new memory designs.
|
|
|
|
Designs are currently being fabricated to test designs using the
|
|
OpenRAM framework in SCMOS. We are also continuously introducing new
|
|
features, such as non-6T memories, variability characterization,
|
|
word-line segmenting, characterization speed-up, and a graphical user
|
|
interface (GUI). We hope to engage an active community in the future
|
|
development of OpenRAM.
