Dunno if it's possible, but some potential things to try:

- Place four macros at top and four at bottom, so that the logic can reach in from both sides. Each core will route top or bottom. I bet that will help a lot with your congestion and timing
- Make sure the macros are oriented so the inputs are facing the logic
- Enable post GRT repair passes (`RUN_POST_GRT_DESIGN_REPAIR: true`, `RUN_POST_GRT_RESIZER_TIMING: true`) if you haven't already, might be able to fix
- try giving the placer more room to move cells around (`PL_MAX_DISPLACEMENT_X`, `PL_MAX_DISPLACEMENT_Y`)
- If you can get timing sorta close, you can often fix up the design with some tweaks to slack margins (`PL_RESIZER_HOLD_SLACK_MARGIN`, `GRT_RESIZER_HOLD_SLACK_MARGIN`, `PL_RESIZER_SETUP_SLACK_MARGIN`, `GRT_RESIZER_SETUP_SLACK_MARGIN`)
- Decreasing the clock rate is always an option too if the violations are `setup`
```

Very cool!  I'd like to do something with BIO too in future 🙂

A couple of extra thoughts:
- The SRAM macros are currently cutting the power ring, which is not good, they need moving in very slightly to avoid that.
- I would close them up so there's not a small row of standard cells between each, and have them tight to the top/bottom as well as left/right.  That should increase the usable logic area a bit.

What placement density are you using at the moment?  And what step errors out?

I have kept it pl desnitu to 50  , the flow does not error out however the flow had  been runnign for 18 hours and in detailed placement i am not getting near zero violation there are kind of stuck at
Completing 10% with 560691 violations. even after 15 iteration so i check the logs and output of the global routing first and found these logs
[GRT-0115] Global routing finished with congestion
and NDR for a lot of clock

" [GRT-0273] Disabled NDR (to reduce congestion) for net: clknet_0_clk_PAD2CORE_regs
[GRT-0273] Disabled NDR (to reduce congestion) for net: i_chip_core.u_bio_lite.u_bio.mach\[0\].core.clk
[GRT-0273] Disabled NDR (to reduce congestion) for net: clknet_1_1_0_clk_PAD2CORE_regs
[GRT-0273] Disabled NDR (to reduce congestion) for net: clknet_0_i_chip_core.u_bio_lite.u_bio.mach\[1\].core.clk"

This is repeated lot to times
Thus i concluded that its higly lickely becouse fo congestion that viltation are not conversing to zero.

That's a lot of violations!  What utilization does global placement report?  One thing that's changed is it no longer fails if the utilization is higher than the placement density, it just ups the density.

That is utilization of the area for standard cells.  40% should normally be routable so hopefully you can resolve it by moving your macros around as BreakingTaps suggested.  Separating the RAM for the two cores so one is pulled to the bottom and the other to the top does sound like it should make things work much better.

Thank you very much

Also I have noticed that
 SRAM macro's LEF file shows SIZE 431.86 BY 484.88 but OpenROAD reports the placed instance as 863.72 × 969.76 µm (exactly 2x).

Why could be that ?
