Hardware Modeling with VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) Simulation

Abstract

This thesis presents a study of the VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and its ability to accurately model digital hardware circuits. A brief background of Hardware Description Languages and VHDL is presented followed by a detailed look at VHDL's language features and semantics that support hardware modeling. This information is applied to the design and development of a VHDL simulator that supports a subset of the language. A discussion of the simulator design and implementation issues is presented.
