Actually seems to be an issue with the filesize, is there a max on how large files to upload can be in the comments?

I was able to get the archive to a manageable size, this was run with the PL_TARGET_DENSITY at 0.25 and the FP_CORE_UTIL at 25. Still seeing too much congestion [openroad.zip](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/files/8106460/openroad.zip)

I took the advice to a add macro channels, and now it is able to global route but runs into issues with diodes See latest run here: [openroad.zip](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/files/8179731/openroad.zip) .

This one is the tarball of the placement step I believe [openroad.zip](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/files/8217858/openroad.zip)

This one runs the init_floorplan [floorplan.zip](https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/files/8217977/floorplan.zip)

I was able to get it to route by using DIODE_STRATEGY 4 and turning off fill. I'm also seeing a lot of slew violations which might be affecting the diode...
