Minimizing Sensitivity to Delay Variations in High-Performance Synchronous Circuits
This paper investigates retiming and clock skew scheduling for improving the tolerance of synchronous circuits to delay variations. It is shown that when both long and short paths...

Planar-CRX: A Single-Layer Zero Skew Clock Routing in X-Architecture
With its advantages in wirelength reduction and routing flexibility compared with Manhattan routing, X-architecture has been proposed and applied to modern IC design. As a critic...

A yield improvement methodology using pre- and post-silicon statistical clock scheduling
— In deep sub-micron technologies, process variations can cause significant path delay and clock skew uncertainties thereby lead to timing failure and yield loss. In this paper,...

ReCycle: : pipeline adaptation to tolerate process variation
Process variation affects processor pipelines by making some stages slower and others faster, therefore exacerbating pipeline unbalance. This reduces the frequency attainable by t...

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...
