Abstract:
A system for parallelizing software in computer-aided design (CAD) software for circuit design includes a computer. The computer is configured to form or optimize a plurality of clusters in parallel. Each cluster in the plurality of clusters includes a set of nodes in a netlist in a design. The computer is configured to determine placements for blocks in a netlist in parallel, based on iterative improvement, partitioning, or analytic techniques.
