Segmentation Fault in OpenROAD During Multi-Corner STA (sky130A PDK) #6227

weafo · 2024-11-24T15:53:17Z

Describe the bug

OpenROAD crashes with a segmentation fault during the execution of the multi-corner static timing analysis (STA) step in OpenLane. The crash occurs when using the sky130A PDK, and the log reports a segmentation violation in libc. The issue is reproducible across multiple runs with the same configuration.

Steps I do:

Clone the OpenLane repository and set up the environment.
Install the sky130A PDK and set the PDK_ROOT environment variable.
Run the following command:
./flow.tcl -design <your_design> -run_full_flow
The segmentation fault occurs during the STA step in OpenROAD.

Expected Behavior

OpenROAD should complete the multi-corner STA step without crashing and generate timing reports.

OpenROAD Environment

I am using OpenROAD through the OpenLane Docker image: efabless/openlane-tools:openroad_app-cdf98f3571ef892d091b6825c5d473bcfbf6e167-centos-7-amd64 with OpenROAD.

OpenLane Environment

open_pdks cdf98f3571ef892d091b6825c5d473bcfbf6e167
Kernel: 5.15.0-122-generic
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Docker version 27.3.1, build ce12230
Python 3.11.10
cdf98f35 Thu Jul 18 14:28:46 2024 +0300 Propagate the clock in some STA reports (#2134)
python-venv: INSTALLED

To Reproduce

Clone the OpenLane repository.
Install the sky130A PDK and set PDK_ROOT to point to the installation.
Navigate to the OpenLane directory.
run make mount

Run the following command:

./flow.tcl -design adder_depth_2023 -init_design_config -add_to_designs
./flow.tcl -design adder_depth_2023 -init_design_config -add_to_designs -config_file config.tcl
./flow.tcl -design adder_depth_2023 ```

The segmentation fault occurs during the multi-corner STA step in OpenROAD.

I've also attached a zip of the issue reproducible folder.

I can't find that image

Unable to find image 'efabless/openlane-tools:openroad_app-cdf98f3571ef892d091b6825c5d473bcfbf6e167-centos-7-amd64' locally

what version of OpenROAD is in that image? If it is not very current then please try with the head of OR first.

maliberty · 2024-11-24T20:10:09Z

You need to make a self contained test case. The steps to reproduce should be untar & run, not install OL.

weafo · 2024-11-24T23:26:37Z

Sorry for the confusion, I am not using a separate Docker image of OpenROAD. Instead, I use it as a dependency within OpenLane. The version of OpenROAD in my setup is: OpenROAD b16bda7.
