Abstract:
Disclosed are a method, a system, and a computer program product for implementing compact manufacturing model during various stages of electronic circuit designs. In some embodiments, the method loads the full design database information on the master; distributes the tasks to be processed in parallel; loads a full design on a master; spawns a plurality of slave sessions; sends to at least one slave a nutshell representation of the electronic circuit design; identifies a task to perform in parallel and sends the task to be performed in parallel; and receives execution results or processing results from some of the plurality of slaves and updates one or more databases to incorporate the execution or processing results. In some embodiments, the method allows speeding up the applications without major rewrite without a need for design partition, and without memory penalty.
