Multiple processing threads operate in parallel to convert data, produced by one or more electronic design automation processes in an initial format, into another data format for output. A processing thread accesses a portion of the initial results data produced by one or more electronic design automation processes in an initial format and in an initial organizational arrangement. The processing thread will then store data within this portion of the initial results data belonging to a target category of the desired output organizational arrangement, such as a cell, at a memory location corresponding to that target category. It will also convert the stored data from a first data format to another data format for output. The first data format may use a relatively low amount of compression, with the second data format may use a relatively high level of compression. Each of a plurality of processing threads may operate in this manner in parallel upon portions of the initial results data, until all of the initial results data has been converted to the desired data format for output. A processing thread can then collect the converted data from the various memory locations, and provide it as output data for the electronic design automation process or processes.
