Abstract :
The use of a general-purpose, message-based multiprocessor to speed up the task of VLSI circuit extraction is discussed. The parallel algorithm incorporates the use of secondary storage to allow complete VLSI circuits to be extracted with small-scale multiprocessors. Experimental results for the detection and labeling of transistor regions are presented
