Operating System: VAX/VMS V3.0
Source Language: C
Keywords: Circuit Simulation, Engineering Applications
Software Requirements: VAX C Compiler
Notes: This program was developed by the Computer-Aided Design Group, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California- Berkeley.
Abstract: WOMBAT is a program for the comparison of two netlists. Typically, one netlist is obtained from an extracted layout and one from a schematic diagram, but they may also come from other sources. The output from the program is a list of cells (they may be transistors, gates or blocks) which the program could not match, along with a list of terminals or nets which the program has been able to correlate. The program differs from other netlist comparison programs in that it does not require labeling of any nets in either circuit to get started.

Currently, most integrated circuit layouts are hand checked to determine their correctness. This manual procedure is very time consuming and does not guarantee an error-free circuit. The WOMBAT program has been developed to overcome this problem.
WOMBAT currently runs on a VAX under Berkeley UNIX and Digital Equipment Corporation's VMS. Running under UNIX, WOMBAT can compare two 1200 element circuits in under 30 cpu seconds. WOMBAT has been used on circuits containing over 10k elements.
