PROFILE
James Cherry
Contributed to The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD by advancing RTL-to-GDS design tooling, focusing on static timing analysis and code quality improvements. Over two months, delivered four features including API simplification for STA path handling and enhanced timing report clarity with explicit min/max qualifiers. Improved test automation and regression stability by refining test outputs and repairing fanout-related issues. Enhanced timing analysis precision by updating delay and slack calculations to use float types, and modernized memory management by refactoring char* usage to std::string and std::string_view. Work was implemented primarily in C++ and Shell, emphasizing software refactoring, hardware design verification, and robust reporting practices.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (2025-03) — The OpenROAD project advanced core RTL-to-GDS design tooling by delivering API simplifications and clearer timing insights, driving faster onboarding, more reliable results, and stronger design outcomes. Key outcomes include API simplification in STA Path handling, explicit min/max timing qualifiers and aligned test outputs, and test stability improvements including fanout-related fixes. Impact: clearer APIs, more reliable timing conclusions, easier onboarding for contributors, and improved business confidence in design validation results. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ refactoring across timing analysis and path rendering modules; test automation, regression testing, and cross-module API design.
