PROFILE
Jorge Ferreira
Over six months, contributed to The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD by building and enhancing 3D visualization tools, multi-layer pin access features, and robust backend infrastructure. Leveraged C++, OpenGL, and Qt to implement a 3D chiplet viewer and improve GUI performance, while refining Z-level calculations for accurate modeling. Enhanced FlexPA with advanced 3D pin access and routing algorithms, optimizing code quality and maintainability through static analysis and refactoring. Addressed critical bugs in SPECIALNET processing and 3DBlox parsing, improving error handling and system stability. Introduced new commands and improved server shutdown flows, supporting smoother operations and more reliable regression testing across the codebase.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 highlights for The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD: Focused stability hardening in SPECIALNET processing. Implemented a defensive fix to prevent core dumps on invalid SPECIALNET rectangle inputs. Specifically, added a null-check for the box object before applying the layer mask and logged a warning when dimensions are invalid, improving robustness and observability. This reduces production risk in net extraction workflows and provides clearer diagnostics for debugging. Commit 99fc8b2ffa193eec463c9d104fa3adff2f54aabc with Signed-off-by: Jorge Ferreira.
