Abstract
An updated integrated circuit (IC) design is generated by applying a histogram-based algorithm to an invalid, current IC design. The histogram-based algorithm includes worst negative slack (WNS) optimization followed by total negative slack (TNS) optimization. WNS optimization uses the slack histogram for the current IC design to generate an invalid, but improved, intermediate IC design. TNS optimization uses the slack histogram of the intermediate IC design to generate the updated IC design.
