About OpenRAM
The OpenRAM project aims to provide a free, open-source memory compiler development framework for Random-Access Memories (RAMs). It is a joint development project between University of California Santa Cruz and Oklahoma State University to enable memory and computer system research by creating an open-source compiler infrastructure.
