A particular method includes performing a timing analysis of a plurality of sub-units of a unit of a logic design. The method also includes identifying a set of grants, where each grant is associated with a first sub-unit having excess time based on the timing analysis. The method further includes identifying a set of requests, where each request is associated with a second sub-unit having a time deficit based on the timing analysis. The method also includes determining a position of a storage element in the logic design based on the set of grants and the set of requests.
