Signal paths in a circuit design are identified, and each node in each path to be processed by an electronic design automation operation is assigned a value. More particularly, each node in a signal path to be processed is sequentially assigned an incrementing value. If a node occurring in multiple signal paths already has been assigned a value, and the new value to be assigned to the node is higher than its previously-assigned value, then the node is assigned the higher value. Two or more portions of the circuit design having the same assigned node values are then processed in parallel by the electronic design automation operation.
