Thank you very much for the reply. That’s what I thought I just wanted to be sure. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach floor planning the SRAMs...

I am trying to place and route SmallBoom using the automatic floorplanning mode. Unfortunately the process halts after a while and I get the following message ``` CCOpt::Phase::Construction... Stage::Clustering... Clustering......

Can I check this if par has not finished normally ? If it were done I could open the design in innovus with the generated script but since it isn't...

Got it. I will use the script and will check for overlaps. The dimensions I picked for SmallBoomConfig where 4000x4000 (meaning 1000x1000 in actual dimensions due to the ASAP7 scaling)....

Ah ok thank you either way. Before you answered I was testing with the previous version of Innovus (20.11) and it just finished clock tree synthesis without error. It now...

I just opened the chip that was produced by version 21.11 (version which produces the assertion failed error) using the generated script. The floorplan view is the following ![Screenshot from...

I used the script after the error on the cts run presented itself so it should be the right database

This is the view in amoeba mode with all the metal layers disabled 

This is a zip of the par-rundir if you want to open the chip in innovus yourself https://drive.google.com/file/d/14AylGeHKTM7OIS_ix8uzJkpG61lk2T2c/view?usp=sharing

Would increasing the chip size even more make the automatic floor planner leave more room ?
