TMC-20205: Endpoints of Paths Failing Setup Analysis with Explicit Power-Up States that Restrict Retiming
Description
Violations of this rule indicate endpoints of paths that fail setup analysis with explicit power-up states that might restrict retiming. A path might not be fully optimized by the retimer if either of its endpoints has a power-up state. Refer to Initial Power-Up Conditions in the Intel Hyperflex Architecture High-Performance Design Handbook for more information.
Parameters
Name | Description | Type | Default Value | Min Value | Max Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
maximum_setup_slack | Reports a violation for timing paths that have a setup slack below the value of this parameter. | double | 0.0 |
Recommendation
Consider applying the IGNORE_REGISTER_POWER_UP_INITIALIZATION ON setting to registers or their hierarchy to allow retiming optimizations to improve performance.
