Abstract
Disclosed approaches for processing a circuit design include interrupting processing of a circuit design by an electronic design automation (EDA) tool at a selected phase of processing. The tool serializes EDA state data into serialized state data while processing is interrupted and writes the serialized state data for subsequent restoration of tool state. To resume processing at the point of interruption, the EDA tool can read the serialized state data and deserialize the serialized state data. The EDA tool bypasses one or more phases of processing after reading the serialized state data and thereafter resumes processing of the circuit design.
