.... In order to identify a maximal feasible subset of gates that can be replaced by high threshold voltage without increasing circuit delay, a circuit graph enumeration technique was proposed in [15] Slack equalization algorithm is used to maximize power reduction based on maximal independent set in [3]. Most of the leakage power optimization techniques are based on static timing analysis to compute slack information. Static timing analysis employs path centric methodology where the worst case delay of all possible paths in a circuit is carefully investigated. However, conventional static ....

....each node (edge) corresponds to a gate (signal net) of the circuit. If the circuit initially meets the timing constraints, we have slack time s(i) 0 for each node i . The problem is how to assign the slacks to nodes edges such that the initial slacks can be fully exploited for power optimization [15]. A typical approach for the slack assignment is the Zero Slack Algorithm [16] However, the algorithm is not able to take into account the discrete nature of node delay in VS GS technique. In this section, we will describe a basic algorithm for VS and GS. First, we have the following ....
