Intradomain Skew Problem

I am synthesizing my Verilog design into a Ciclone V (5CSXFC6D6F31C6) and trying to increase FMAX. The design is a SOC (top level) with a processor, a dual port data memory (IPcore), a dual port ROM ...

    You need a complete .sdc file that defines all clock domains in the design as well as input and output delay constraints in order to fully constrain the design.

    Your timing report shows a very long data path delay between the memory and the CPU. Is this a CPU of your own design? The data is going through many levels of logic to reach its destination. If you built this CPU, you may want to add pipelining to the design to break up these long combinational logic paths.
