Abstract
A system is implemented for controlling long running electronic design automation tools. A user may modify the running of the tool in real time using an interface at the user computer. The user computer accepts user input and communicates with a computer running the design application. The design application runs normally unless a user enters input requiring modification of the process being run by the design application.
