1. A system for performing a simulation of a lithographic process for fabricating an integrated circuit represented by circuit design data comprising a plurality of polygons, the system comprising:

  • a managing computer processor that converts the plurality of polygons in the circuit design data into a pixel-based bitmap representation of the integrated circuit; and

    a plurality of specially programmed computer processors, coupled to the managing computer processor, that each perform a respective portion of the simulation using the pixel-based bitmap representation of the integrated circuit,wherein the managing computer combines the respective portions to form an overall result of the simulation.
