SKEW
Determines when input blocks
will execute.
Use the SKEW selection to
schedule each input block to
execute at the time closest to
where they converge on a
common block like an input
selector (minimum loop latency).
Use the NO_SKEW selection to
schedule input blocks to
execute at the same time where
they converge on a common
block like an input selector
(minimum scan skew).
