Abstract

Described herein are methods and systems for distributed execution of circuit testing algorithms, or portions thereof. Distributed processing can result in faster processing. Algorithms or portions of algorithms that are independent from each other can be executed in a non-sequential manner (e.g., parallel) over a network of plurality of processors. The network includes a controlling processor that can allocate tasks to other processors and conduct the execution of some tasks on its own. Dependent algorithms, or portions thereof, can be performed on the controlling processor or one of the controlled processors in a sequential manner.
