  • Abstract
    For performance-driven synthesis of sequential circuits, the optimal clocking problem is considered, and it is shown that it is reducible to a parametric shortest path problem. Constraints are used that take into account both the short and long paths. The main contributions are efficient graph algorithms to solve the set of constraints necessary for correct clocking.<>
