********************************************* <!channel> Hello everyone, Reposting this message from email on Slack… To provide extra time to review and correct timing violations as well as complete the new tapeout job requirement, we are pushing the deadline for submitting projects for MPW-3 to November 12, 2021 @ 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time. Correcting Timing Issues If you are using OpenLane to harden your project or sub macros, please update your OpenLane repo and rerun your project to ensure you have picked up the latest updates to the flow.  The recommended tag is mpw-3a at https://github.com/efabless/OpenLane.    OpenLane has been updated to address a timing violation issue identified from MPW-1.  This change was related to an issue correctly with respect to RC extraction and identifying timing violations after layout.  A change was also made to improve clock tree synthesis. If you do run into timing issues for your project, please see the following document for guidance... https://docs.google.com/document/d/13J1AY1zhzxur8vaFs3rRW9ZWX113rSDs63LezOOoXZ8/edit?usp=sharing We’ve also created Slack channel #timing-closure to assist with questions or issues you might have. New Tapeout Job As mentioned previously, there is a new step required for submission of your project for the Open-MPW shuttle. After successfully completing a Precheck, you need to submit a Tapeout job which performs the final steps to integrate your design with the golden copy of Caravel, runs fill generation, adds a seal ring, and runs final metal density checks for the layout. You need to have successfully completed a Tapeout job submission prior to the submission deadline. You can find the ‘*Submit Tapeout*’ button right next to the button for MPW precheck on your project  ‘Workspace’ tab. We’ve set up a Slack channel called #tapeout-job to assist with questions or issues related to this process.  We will be posting additional guidance there related to addressing any errors you may encounter. *********************************************
