what is difference between CTS and HFS?

As per my understanding,
CTS - Clock Tree Synthesis
HFS - High Fanout net Synthesis
CTS is done specifically for the clock signal. It needs lots of effort to balance it such that skew is less, and also with less buffers(to reduce the OCV). So, one need to design it carefully ...

While is HFS - is done for the nets those having a high fanout. e.g. reset. Reset goes to almost each flop in the design. But in terms of timing and skew it is less critical than CTS. Of course on one has to meet the reset recovery time and have to make sure that all the flops are coming out of reset on the same clk cycle.

Hope this helps....
 
Very helpful Viju , but I have a question regarding what you wrote :

What is OCV, and why buffers increase OCV ?


Thanks very much.
 

OCV is on chip variations. You have more buffers, so more component and hence variability is more.

Hope this clears your doubt...
