In this paper, we present DATC Robust Design Flow (RDF) from logic synthesis to detailed routing. Our goals are 1) to provide an open-source academic design flow from logic synthesis to detailed routing based on existing contest results, 2) to construct a database for design benchmarks and point tool libraries, and 3) to interact with industrial designs by using industrial standard design input/output formats. We also demonstrate RDF in a scalable cloud infrastructure. Design methodology and cross-stage optimization research can be conducted via RDF.
