System and method for efficiently designing integrated circuit devices
 A system and method for efficiently designing integrated circuits provides a verification manager for verifying an integrated circuit design, a synthesis manager for synthesizing the integrated circuit design, a backend manager for implementing the integrated circuit design, and a processor for simultaneously controlling the verification manager, the synthesis manager, and the backend manager to create the integrated circuit design. The system and method generates a series of regression checkpoints controlled by the verification manager, and a series of timing checkpoints controlled by the synthesis manager to facilitate and expedite the integrated circuit design procedure.
