set the channel description: OpenLane Cloud Runner Discussion

Hello everyone. This is the repo for openlanecloudrunner backend. https://github.com/KhaledSoliman/openlane-cloud-backend-typescript . The repo's README.md describes almost all the necessary steps (except for building a GCP slurm cluster) to build and deploy the backend. There is a nice diagram in the end that summarizes the architecture of the cloudrunner. The frontend has a separate repo https://github.com/KhaledSoliman/openlane-cloud-frontend . However, this one doesn't have much info. After following the instructions (with small adjustments found here: https://github.com/kareefardi/openlane-cloud-backend-typescript) I was able to deploy the cloudrunner on http://34.79.236.171:3001 . Login with google and try it out. An example openlane design repo: https://github.com/KhaledSoliman/spm . Note that I didn't install all the pdk variants only hd working now.

Looks very cool! I like it quite a bit. Only bug I've seen so far is. The job link is not clickable.

Also you need to setup a https endpoint as soon as possible. It's not safe to accept any form of login credentials over the public internet with it.

Area per cell looks negative not sure if that's a bug or not

Hello. Thanks ethan for you feedback. I fixed the unclickable job link and made other enhancements . I added the ability to submit multiple designs in one job form as well as upload designs using a json file i.e.

{
  "designs": [
    {
      "designName": "spm1",
      "repoURL": "<https://github.com/KhaledSoliman/spm>",
      "pdkVariant": "sky130_fd_sc_hd",
      "config": "config"
    },
    {
      "designName": "spm2",
      "repoURL": "<https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/tree/master/designs/spm>",
      "pdkVariant": "sky130_fd_sc_hd",
      "config": "config"
    }
  ]
}

You can also now specify a config file and provide a url of folder in a github repo. Until we setup https, you can avoid using your google account to login by creating an account in the cloudrunner. Finally, the negative area per cell is a small issue I found out with openlane which I am going make a PR to fix it

What is the relationship between https://github.com/kareefardi/openlane-cloud-backend-typescript https://github.com/kareefardi/openlane-cloud-frontend and https://github.com/KhaledSoliman/openlane-cloud ?

please add @User

Is openlane-cloud-frontend a real project? It looks like a skeleton

@User You are right. It used to be one repo. Khaled refactored the code into the other 2 repos
