The Skywater shuttles are never full, to the best of my knowledge. However, it is a lot of work to get off the ground with the PDK (synthesis and physical design for chips is a totally separate set of skills on top of logic design), so if this further lowers the barrier to entry then that's fantastic

- rrss 4y agoThe last 3 or 4 openmpw shuttles have been full.
- thrtythreeforty 4y agoThat's great to hear, I'm glad to be corrected.
- jecel 4y agoActually, all of the open shuttles have been full with the last few oversubscribed by larger and larger margins (about 100% for MPW6 if I remember correctly). It was the commercial shuttles, called ChipIgnite, that have had space left over.
- rrss 4y agoI had in mind that OpenMPW-1 was not quite full, and looking now on efabless.com I see 37 projects submitted for MPW-1. but i don’t think it really matters - there have been lots of submissions for all of them and a ton of cool stuff, and yeah the recent open shuttles are definitely full :)
