It appears a third set based on "spef_extractor" was generated - I don't know the details. @RTimothyEdwards @donn can you explain further?
Thanks. Overnight is fine
If you are using openroad-flow-script then that is a make target. If you are using openlane see https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenLane/blob/master/docs/source/using_or_issue.md.
@ravi-varadarajan would you mention what improvements you have in progress.
Support for placement fences is missing. It won't immediately help QOR but is needed for multiple power domain work. It can also help with QOR if users want to guide...
Yes though fences can be hard or soft (see FENCE vs GUIDE on REGION in DEF).
RTL-MP is the replacement to the current macro placer. You can try it out in ORFS, see https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD-flow-scripts/blob/master/flow/designs/gf12/coyote/config_hier.mk for an example of the control variables needed. There is work underway...
Though the instances on macros problem is unrelated to that change. RTL-MP is just about better macro placement.
@ravi-varadarajan gpl doesn't guarantee that it won't leave an instance inside a blockage, it just increases the cost of that location and therefore reduces the likelihood. dpl has code to...
@QuantamHD No dpl just moves them off and places them as usual.
