Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
Clock skew scheduling is a technique that intentionally introduces skews to memory elements to improve the performance of a sequential circuit. It was shown in [21] that the full ...
Multi-domain clock skew scheduling is a cost effective technique for performance improvement. However, the required wire length and area overhead due to phase shifters for realizin...

The application of general clock skew scheduling is practically limited due to the difficulties in implementing a wide spectrum of dedicated clock delays in a reliable manner. Th...

Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
The race conditions often limit the smallest feasible clock period that the optimal clock skew scheduling can achieve. Therefore, the combination of clock skew scheduling and dela...
