Abstract	:	In academia, many Application Specific Integrated Circuits and System-on-Chip design methodologies are limited by the availability of memories. As process technologies shrink, the size and number of memories on a chip are constantly increasing and memory designs become a more significant part of the overall system performance, efficiency, and cost. Random-Access Memories can be time consuming and tedious to custom design, and there are not many options for automating this process. Process design kits from foundries and vendors do not include memory compilers and commercial solutions require expensive licenses and are often un-modifiable and process specific. This thesis introduces OpenRAM, an open-source memory compiler and characterization methodology. The main objective of the OpenRAM compiler is to promote memory research in academia by providing a flexible and portable platform for generating and verifying memory designs across different technologies. Currently, the compiler generates GDSII layout and Spice netlists for single-port SRAM's using the FreePDK 45nm process design kit, and provides timing/power characterization through Spice simulation. Verification of OpenRAM designs in both 130nm (IBM 8RF) and 180nm (IBM 7SF) technologies are in progress.
