Comparing Hardware Description Languages

نویسنده

  • Matthijs Hofstra
چکیده

We describe a comparison of several existing hardware description languages to determine their advantages and disadvantages with regards to abstraction, code reuse, and usability. To make this comparison we will implement a FIR-filter and a FIFO-queue in every language and evaluate the result according to these criteria. The languages that will be compared are VHDL, CλaSH, Kansas Lava and MyHDL.

The Semantics of Timing Constructs in Hardware Description Languages

Three different, approaches to the representation of time in high level hardware design Languages are described and compared. The first is the timed assignment statement of ADLIB/SABLE which anticipates future events. The second is the timed assignment, of VHDL which predicts future events and allows predictions to be preempted by other predictions. The third is a new proposed method of express...

Structure and Behaviour in Hardware

In this paper we review how hardware has been described in the formal hardware veriication community. Recent developments in hardware description are evaluated against the background of the use of hardware description languages, and also in relation to programming languages. The notions of structure and behaviour are crucial to this discussion.

A calculus for hardware description

In efforts to overcome the complexity of the syntax and the lack of formal semantics of conventional hardware description languages, a number of functional hardware description languages have been developed. Like conventional hardware description languages, however, functional hardware description languages eventually convert all source programs into netlists, which describe wire connections in...
