Cycle time and slack optimization for VLSI-chips
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...

Slack analysis in the system design loop
We present a system-level technique to analyze the impact of design optimizations on system-level timing dependencies. This technique enables us to speed up the design cycle by su...

Fast and efficient voltage scheduling by evolutionary slack distribution
- To minimize energy consumption by voltage scaling in design of heterogeneousreal-time embeddedsystems, it is necessary to perfom two distinct tasks: task scheduling (TS) and volt...

Optimization of critical paths in circuits with level-sensitive latches
A simple extension of the critical path method is presented which allows more accurate optimization of circuits with level-sensitive latches. The extended formulation provides a s...

Leakage power-aware clock skew scheduling: converting stolen time into leakage power reduction
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...
