Timing adjustments across transparent latches to facilitate power reduction

A computer program product for implementing timing adjustments across a transparent latch of an integrated circuit, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining initial input timing slack and input potential power savings at an input of the transparent latch;
• obtaining initial output timing slack and output potential power savings at an output of the transparent latch;
• and
• adjusting a cycle boundary of the transparent latch to obtain a new input timing slack at the input of the transparent latch and a new output timing slack at the output of the transparent latch, wherein the cycle boundary is a time period within an active clock interval of the transparent latch, the new input timing slack is greater than the initial input timing slack based on the input potential power savings being greater than the output potential power savings, the new output timing slack is greater than the initial output timing slack based on the output potential power savings being greater than the input potential power savings, and the adjusting the cycle boundary is performed and provided for subsequent manufacturing of the integrated circuit.
