Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product for implementing efficient access to stream data. The present approach implements a stream reader that supports either reading the entire layout (e.g., loading the contents of the user-specified top cell and all its progeny) into memory, or just a portion of it (e.g., loading only the contents of the user-specified top cell and its progeny that overlapped a user-specified bounding box). Some approaches provide a mechanism to implement parallelized or multithreaded reads of the stream data.
