Invited: Toward Sustainable and Transparent Benchmarking for Academic Physical Design Research

摘要

This paper presents RosettaStone 2.0, an open benchmark translation and evaluation framework built on OpenROAD-Research. RosettaStone 2.0 provides complete RTL-to-GDS reference flows for both conventional 2D designs and Pin-3D-style face-to-face (F2F) hybrid-bonded 3D designs, enabling rigorous apples-to-apples comparison across planar and three-dimensional implementation settings. The framework is integrated within OpenROAD-flow-scripts (ORFS)-Research; it incorporates continuous integration (CI)-based regression testing and provides a standardized evaluation pipeline based on the METRICS2.1 convention, with structured logs and reports generated by ORFS-Research. To support transparent and reproducible research, RosettaStone 2.0 further provides a community-facing leaderboard, which is governed by verified pull requests and enforced through Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) compliance.
