Abstract
A method executed by a computer program performs cell characterization in a distributed simulation system by partitioning characterization tasks into individual simulations. A simulation job is generated based on the individual simulations and placed into a simulation job queue. The simulation job queue is copied into a database. The simulation job is accessed and processed in a remote simulator. The remote simulator returns a simulation status and simulation results which are placed into an acknowledge queue. The simulation process is repeated upon detecting an error condition from the simulation status. The simulation status is read from the acknowledge queue and the acknowledge queue is copied into the database.
