Abstract--This paper investigates the application of simultaneous retiming and clock scheduling for optimizing synchronous circuits under setup and hold constraints. Two optimizati...
Clock networks contribute a significant fraction of dynamic power and can be a limiting factor in high-performance CPUs and SoCs. The need for multi-objective optimization over a l...
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
Manufacturing process variability impacts the performance of synchronous logic circuits by means of its effect on both clock network and functional block delays. Typically, varia...
—The clock distribution network is a key component of any synchronous VLSI design. High power dissipation and pressure volume temperature-induced variations in clock skew have st...
