What Is VHDL
VHDL-1076 (VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuits) Hardware Description Language) is an IEEE Standard since 1987. It is “a formal notation intended for use in all phases of the creation of electronic systems. … it supports the development, verification, synthesis, and testing of hardware designs, the communication of hardware design data …” [Preface to the IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual] and especially simulation of hardware descriptions. Additionally, VHDL-models are a DoD requirement for vendors.
