Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating generally to synthesis are described. In such a method, a directed graph for a circuit design is generated. A cascaded chain is identified in the directed graph with a timing violation. A pipeline register stage of the cascaded chain is moved (or added) to remove the timing violation. The circuit design is transformed to provide a netlist including the pipeline register stage.
