Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing optimization parameters to an EDA logic optimizing tool. The optimization parameters for selected circuit modules within a circuit design database may be stored such that a particular optimization parameter set can be uniquely identified by a search capability of a data processing system, thereby enabling the logic optimizer tool to select and access a particular optimization parameter set from a collection of optimization parameter sets. Further, the optimization parameters may be stored such that the corresponding optimization parameters can be collectively viewed by a circuit designer.
