Abstract:
1. A method for processing a geometrical layout design data in a computation network, the method comprising: generating a minimum-hierarchy representation of the geometrical layout design data by a server, wherein the minimum-hierarchy representation includes a plurality of cells of the geometrical layout design data, and wherein each cell in the minimum-hierarchy representation includes zero or more bounding box information and zero or more cell-references; determining a plurality of partitions from the geometrical layout design data by the server, wherein each partition includes one or more parts of one or more fragments, and wherein each fragment includes one or more parts of one or more cells of the plurality of cells; assigning at least one partition of the geometrical layout design data to at least one computing device operatively coupled to the server based on first predefined parameters; receiving, by the at least one computing device, the minimum-hierarchy representation of the geometrical layout design data and a partition information corresponding to the at least one partition assigned from the server, wherein a partition information corresponding to a partition assigned to a computing device comprises a spatial information corresponding to the partition; and retrieving, by the at least one computing device, at least one fragment corresponding to the at least one partition assigned based on each of the partition information and the minimum-hierarchy representation.
