Ideally perform at three times during the design flow Pre-CTS (clock tree synthesis) – trial route after placing cells Post-CTS – clock tree should improve timing Post-Route – after completed routing timeDesign: create trial route, extract delays, analyze timing, generate reports (reg2reg, in2reg, reg2out)
