PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce circuit area by specifying any non-operational description within a circuit on the basis of test bench information used in circuit simulations, and deleting that portion. SOLUTION: An optimization apparatus for logic designs comprises a means for extracting descriptions that control circuit operation described within circuit information, a means for extracting signals that propagate from the test bench information to the operation control descriptions as control pattern information, a means for specifying non-operational control descriptions from the control description information and the control pattern information, and a means for deleting the non-operational control descriptions, thereby automatically creating optimal circuit information for which the circuit area has been reduced.
