Abstract
In the domain of computer science, particularly VLSI CAD, an increasing amount of engineering time is spent running compute-bound programs. Many of these programs have an intrinsic parallelism that is externally accessible. This thesis describes a novel software system that uses a small number of independent computers connected by a network to exploit the parallelism inherent in existing software, and thereby, reduce its running time.
