The status of execution of jobs (used to characterize cells) is notified asynchronously. As a result, the processing and network resources may be optimally used. In an embodiment, a flow controller divides an entire characterization task into multiple jobs, and schedules each job for execution on one of several client machines. The client machine sends a notification asynchronously after completion of execution of the job. In an embodiment, the asynchronous communication is implemented using socket interface on top of TCP/IP protocol.
