Ngspice benchmarks
Ngspice is currently being tested with publicy available test suites to verify the correctness of simulation results and to discover bugs not yet fixed. The suites come from various sources:
- Quarles bench: This suite contains most of the benchmark circuits used in "Benchmark Circuits: Results for Spice3" by T. Quarles, Memo No ERL M89/47, 24 April 1989. Last updated Feb. 25th, 1993.
- Qxdir bench: A collection of files that have been used at Berkeley to test spice3 distributions.
- CircuitSim90: a sort of "industry standard" test suite for spice simulators.
Ngspice is tested with other collections of netlists that cannot be grouped into suites, most of them coming from everyday use or from example files included with the source code itself or contributed by device models developers.
results will be published briefly...
