Abstract

Technical solutions are described herein for fabrication of a chip with optimized chip design during the logical synthesis phase of the fabrication. An example method includes optimizing, by a physical synthesis system, a chip design for a chip to be fabricated, the optimization performed according to a first performance metric for the entire chip. The method further includes receiving, by the physical synthesis system, a feedback input comprising a region of the chip and a second performance metric associated with the region. The method further includes modifying, by the physical synthesis system, the chip design by optimizing the region of the chip according to the second performance metric. The method further includes sending, by the physical synthesis system, the modified chip design for fabrication of the chip.
