| # Colab Quickstart | |
| Notebook-based packaging offers three main benefits: | |
| 1. Colab is completely free to use and can be accessed from any web browser. | |
| 1. Colab notebooks can be easily shared with others, making it a great | |
| tool for teams to collaborate and manage OpenROAD design runs. | |
| 1. The notebook can easily be modified to be used for on-premise servers or | |
| notebook-based cloud providers such as LambdaLabs/Paperspace. | |
| We provide two notebooks for a quickstart to OpenROAD-flow-scripts functionality | |
| as follows: | |
| ## OpenROAD-flow-scripts Automated RTL-GDSII Flow | |
| The notebook for the automated flow for `gcd` design in `nangate45` technology node can be found [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1bfcvqOnbw8q7FmSONLw8q7-yBVvKsQot). | |
| ## AutoTuner Flow | |
| The notebook for the OpenROAD-flow-scripts AutoTuner flow for `gcd` design in `sky130hd` technology node can be found [here](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wye0osn34YVWPvTrfBTftjOfGOtF3ABe). | |
