**MacroPlacement** is an open, transparent effort to provide a public, baseline implementation of [Google Brain's Circuit Training](https://github.com/google-research/circuit_training)(Morpheus) deep RL-based placement method. We will provide (1) testcases in open enablements, along with multiple EDA tool flows; (2) implementations of missing or binarized elements of Circuit Training; (3) reproducible example macro placement solutions produced by our implementation; and (4) post-routing results obtained by full completion of the synthesis-place-and-route flow using both proprietary and open-source tools.
