08:54 <mkk_> [Tommy Thorn, skywater-pdk] @James Stine Belated questions to your great FOSSi presentation: 18T is surprisingly, almost shockingly, tall. However 2 ns for a _single cycle_ design sounds quite good. Will you redo this exercise for your other families (I think you mentioned 15, 12, and 9T)? Do you have an estimate of the cycle time for a moderately pipelined version of of this design?

14:23 <mkk_> *Title* - Advanced VLSI Physical Design Workshop using Google/Sky130 and OpenLANE

14:23 <mkk_> *Date and Timings* - November 25, 00:00hrs IST to November 29, 11:59pm IST

14:23 <mkk_> *Description* - Do you have a little bit of the basics covered in VLSI SoC design? Do you want to know what Skywater and Google have done in the area of VLSI Hardware design? Do you want to know how to build a chip using your own PC, without paying license fees? If it's a 'yes' for anyone of the above queries, this is a perfect 5-day workshop for you. Though this workshop does cover a little bit of VLSI basics, but mostly the conte

14:26 <mkk_> [Kunal Ghosh, skywater-pdk] As far as we have researched, this is the only workshop on this *PLANET* which covers from basic to advanced PD using OpenLANE and Sky130 PDK's with great details, which makes sure you do hands-on labs (as basic as a standard cell) on cloud

14:26 <mkk_> So every fresher, experienced and curious engineers are invited

14:37 <mkk_> [James Stine, skywater-pdk] Hi @Tommy Thorn thanks for the kind comments. Sure thing! I talked about the optimizations we put into the 18T version to make it compete more with SKW and, if fact, beats SKW cells for the RV32i implementation we made. We have a pipelined version of the RV32i we developed (we also hope to release our RTL version of the RV32i to the repo too) - we can do that too.
