PrimeTime Multicycle Path

set_multicycle_path path_multiplier [-setup|-hold] [-start|-end] -from -through -to
Default path_multiplier: Setup 1, Hold 0.
Setup: Regarding to EndClock by Default. (-end is the default)
Hold: Regarding to StartClock by Default. (-start is the default)
In single clock domain design there is no meaning to the -start and -end flags. !!!
Note: In case your setup path_multiplier is X, use the path_multiplier of X-1 for
hold. In any case check out the report of your multicycles and the report exceptions
(Plus the report_exceptions -ignore) results.

Table 1 describes how the check points for setup and hold timing are moved back-
ward of forward depend on the -start/-end flags and the path_multiplier.
