Abstract
A method, computer system and program product introduce adding a variable performance ranking parameter to a diagram of a circuit to drive implementation of modifications that are yield improving, performance boosting, or performance-neutral. The information is paired to accomplish a more complete design for manufacturability modification in the design of circuits implemented on chips. In this matter, both yield and chip performance are improved.
