    Abstract
    The Technology scaling and reduction of the size of transistors has led to an increase in the switching speed and, as a result, to an increase in the clock frequency.But in recent years, the continuation of this process of increasing the clock frequency has been almost stopped considering the considerations of power consumption. Previous research has shown that approximately 30-50% of the dynamic power consumed by the microprocessor is wasted in the clock distribution network.Therefore, the design of clock distribution networks is a big challenge for future microprocessors due to the trend of Technology scaling and process variation. In this thesis, we used the emerging technology of...
