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 ...
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...
With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
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...
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
