The computational requirements for high quality synthesis, analysis, and verification of VLSI designs have rapidly increased with the fast growing complexity of these designs. Past research has focused on the development of heuristic algorithms, special purpose hardware accelerators, or parallel algorithms for the numerous design tasks to decrease the time required for solution. In this thesis, we propose two new parallel algorithms for two VLSl synthesis tasks, standard cell placement and global routing.The first algorithm, a parallel algorithm for global routing, uses hierarchical techniques to decompose the routing problem into independent routing subproblems that are solved in parallel. Results are then presented which compare the routi...
