Abstract
A system and method are provided for reducing the signal delay skew is disclosed, according to a variety of embodiments. One illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a method. According to one illustrative embodiment, the method includes receiving an initial netlist having components and connection paths among the components; identifying a first connection path in the initial netlist that comprises path fragments for which there are no equivalent path fragments in a second connection path in the initial netlist; generating a skew-corrected netlist wherein the second connection path is re-routed to have path fragments equivalent to the path fragments of the first connection path; and outputting the skew-corrected netlist.
