Beneficial Skew

Beneficial skew (sometimes called "slack borrowing") is a process in which the software adjusts clocks to better close timing. In the following figure, Delay 1 meets timing and has extra slack. Delay 2 does not meet timing. The software adjust the clocks to take some slack from Delay 1 and give it to Delay 2, allowing both to meet timing.

This option is only available for Titanium and Topaz FPGAs.
