OpenROAD is a front-runner in open-source semiconductor design automation tools and know-how. OpenROAD reduces barriers of access and tool costs to democratize system and product innovation in silicon. The OpenROAD tool and flow provide an autonomous, no-human-in-the-loop, 24-hour RTL-GDSII capability to support low-overhead design exploration and implementation through tapeout.

Polyphorm is an agent-based system for reconstructing and visualizing optimal transport networks defined over sparse data. Rooted in astronomy and inspired by nature, we have used Polyphorm to reconstruct the Cosmic web structure, but also to discover network-like patterns in natural language data.

Proactive Data Containers (PDC) are containers within a locus of storage (memory, NVRAM, disk, etc.) that store science data in an object-oriented manner. Managing data as objects enables powerful optimization opportunities for data movement and transformations, and storage mechanisms that take advantage of the deep storage hierarchy and enable automated performance tuning

SkyhookDM The Skyhook Data Management project extends object storage with data management functionality for tabular data. SkyhookDM enables storing and query tabular data in the Ceph distributed object storage system. It thereby turns Ceph into an Apache Arrow-native storage system, utilizing the Arrow Dataset API to store and query data with server-side data processing, including selection and projection that can significantly reduce the data returned to the client.
