Abstract
Various embodiments provide for modifying a circuit design based on timing tradeoff, which can be part of an electronic design automation (EDA) system. For instance, some embodiments use a return on investment (ROI) concept to determine one or more thresholds for how much area or power of a circuit design should be available for use (e.g., sacrificed) in order to obtain an improvement in slack by a given transformation.
