Verify inflated std cell area correlation between MPL and GPL
trafficstars
Description
This should enlighten us about how much discrepancy may exist between MPL / GPL abstractions.
Suggested Solution
MPL wise:
- Use the changes in #8665;
- Skip push-to-edges post process;
- Don't expand std cell clusters to fill empty space after annealing.
GPL wise: Use the area of bins with movable cells in order to have a rough estimation of the bloated std cell area.
Additional Context
This should be done for multiple designs.
