Fast clock tree generation using exact zero skew clock routing algorithm

A Zero Skew clock routing methodology has been developed to help design team speed up their clock tree generation process. The methodology works by breaking up the clock net into smaller partitions, then inserting clock buffers to drive each portion and lastly, routing the connection from original c...
