Abstract
A method, system, and computer product are disclosed for correcting anticipated problems related to global routing during logic synthesis. Synthesis is begun of a circuit design that includes multiple logic functions. During the synthesis, multiple logic books are selected to use to implement the logic function. Also during synthesis, at least one of the logic books is identified that is sensitive to a change in output wire capacitance of the identified logic book, where a value of the output wire capacitance is related to a routing of the wire. A strength of each identified logic book is then increased.
