US Patent 11347916 Increasing positive clock skew for systolic array critical path

Clock skew may be increased along a critical path of a systolic array. Pipelined registers may be added between a bus that provides input data signals to a systolic array and between a bus that receives output data signals from the systolic array. Skew circuitry for the pipelined registers may be implemented to delay a clock signal to the pipelined registries to allow a clock skew accumulated along a critical path of the systolic array to exceed a single clock cycle.
