QISMHCompare

The QISMHCompare program is intended to compare two separate layout inputs to determine differences. A unique feature is that it is able to do this in a hierarchical fashion i.e. it does not need to "flatten" both inputs in order to perform the Boolean operations needed for comparison. It is multi-threaded so that for large inputs one can run it on a machine with many CPU cores and computations scale nicely.

This executable is built on the QisMLib and QisMBool libraries.


Command Line

QISMHCompare is launched via a command line. This allows the program to be called using a script or batch file. The user then has quite a lot of control over the computation parameters, directories and output. Please visit this page for command line details.
