ATM Cell Modelling using Objective VHDL
نویسندگان
چکیده
High potentialities in terms of abstraction and re-use for hw design are offered by the recently proposed innovative extensions to VHDL, implementing object-oriented techniques. In this paper we evaluate the results of modelling ATM cells in Objective VHDL, exploiting the language features in terms of abstraction and reuse. The selected modules are representatives of highly used components for a wide range of multimedia applications. Entity-architecture classes and abstract data types are considered. Users methodology and benefits are highlighted. The results can be easily extended to other domains where hw design is involved.

Design and Evaluation of an Input Buffered Packet Switch
Many architectures of internet routers, ATM and ethernet switches have been proposed and analysed in literature. Theoretically reliable and valid solutions have been developed to achieve high performances but a lot of them are not feasible in practice for commercial and technological reasons. Few papers develop the implementation and simulation aspects. The objective of this paper is the design...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Fault Tolerant ATM Switch
In this paper, we propose a new method to build a fault tolerant ATM switch. Using this method, we can build an ATM switch which has two disjoint paths between each input/ output pair. The key component in the proposed switch is a 2 ¥ 2 FTSE (Fault Tolerant Switching Element), which can be used as the basic building block for high speed ATM switches. The design of the FTSE-based fault tolerant ...
متن کاملDesign, Analysis of an ATM Switch With Priority Discarding Scheme
In this paper, we propose an N × N high speed and non-blocking asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch with input and output buffers. In this switch, each buffer adopts a priority discarding scheme, which discards incoming cells of low-priority traffic when its queue length is greater than a predefined threshold value. Our switch also supports broadcast/multicast functions without increasing th...
متن کاملCritique of the Objective VHDL Language Definition
This paper provides a critical analysis of Objective VHDL, an object-oriented extension to VHDL. It is demonstrated that several design decisions lead to unnecessary complexity in the language and consequent modelling difficulty for designers. The SUAVE object-oriented extensions to VHDL, on the other hand, avoid these problems by more careful selection of language features.
متن کاملA communications system modelling study using VHDLNHDL-AMS
This paper will describe aspects relating the modelling of a mixed-signal system with the aim to describe the system in a single language prior to any detailed implementation strategy. With reference to a communications system modelling case study, VHDL-AMS, an extension to the industry standard VHDL Hardware Description Language (HDL) for digital circuits and systems, will be used. Recently, t...
