NOM - Netlist Object Model

NOM is a language-independent front-end for Netlist applications. It analyzes Verilog, VHDL and EDIF netlists and creates a language neutral Object Model for connectivity. Applications can then access the design information in the Object Model using common Programming Interface, thus saving enormous time and resources. Rather than spending time writing parsers and multiple front-ends for different language inputs, designers can now spend time designing their solutions.

Extensive customization capabilities allow EDA tool developers to extend and mould NOM as per their needs. NOM is used as the front-end for a diverse set of EDA applications to increase the speed of development.
