Optimal Clocking and Enhanced Testability for High-Performance Self-Resetting Domino Pipelines
We describe a method to clock the domino pipeline at the maximum rate by using soft synchronizers between pipeline stages and thus allowing "time borrowing," i.e., allow...

On The Micro-architectural Impact of Clock Distribution Using Multiple PLLs
Clock distribution has traditionally been a circuit design problem with negligible micro-architectural impact. However, for clock distribution networks using multiple phase-locked...

More Practical Bounded-Skew Clock Routing
: Academic clock routing research results has often had limited impact on industry practice, since such practical considerations as hierarchical buffering, rise-time and overshoot ...

A hierarchical decomposition methodology for multistage clock circuits
† This paper describes a novel methodology to automate the design of the interconnect distribution for multistage clock circuits. We introduce two key ideas. First, a hierarchica...
