Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for parallel access to an electronic design automation (EDA) application. The computer receives a request to access an electronic design automation (EDA) application from at least two user computing device and authenticates a user associated with each of the requests from the at least two user computing devices to access the EDA application. The computer determines a level of access to be granted to each of the user of the at least two user computing devices and creates a parallel connection to each of the at least user computing device based on the determined level of access granted to each of the users. The computer retrieves data to be transmitted to each of the at least user computing device to be displayed on each of the user computing devices and stores the data in a memory unit.

Parallel access to running electronic design automation (EDA) application

A system and method perform global routing during integrated circuit fabrication. The method includes performing a design change in a portion of an integrated circuit design using a processor, determining whether the design change requires rerouting, and requesting a global routing lock based on determining that the design change requires the rerouting. The method also includes a router providing control of the global routing lock to one of two or more of the threads that request the global routing lock, and performing global routing for all of the two or more of the threads in parallel. A physical implementation of the integrated circuit design is obtained.
