Fixing Verilog is easy

The example in my previous post “Wasting real time in zero time” has triggered some interesting responses, providing more than enough material for a follow-up post. VHDL designers beware, hardcore Verilog stuff ahead!

Pitfalls for circuit girls

The Circuit Girl

Some time ago I heard about a video with FPGA design book recommendations by Jeri Ellsworth , who is also known as the Circuit Girl. I admit that the concept of circuit girls triggered my imagination. Somehow I feel like there should be more of those. Consequently, I checked out her video without further delay.

Time for reflection

Dear reader,

In my previous post, VHDL’s crown jewel, I announced further considerations about nondeterminism in Verilog. However, I am getting worried that you may be losing interest. As a visitor of the Sigasi site, you are likely a VHDL design professional, or aspiring to become one. Why should you care about Verilog? Moreover, you are probably a busy person, looking for productivity solutions in your day-to-day work. What is the relevancy of all this pseudo-philosophical talk about nondeterminism? Before continuing, I think I have to give you an indication of where I am heading.

How VHDL preserves determinism

In this post, I would like to talk about VHDL’s crown jewel: how it preserves determinism in a concurrent language. Here is a figure of how it works:

As a visitor of the Sigasi website, you are probably interested in Sigasi’s products. Therefore, there is a good chance that you are using VHDL and that you like it. (If you are here for other reasons or if you hate VHDL, you are most welcome too :-))

It has been quiet around this corner for some time, but on the broader Sigasi front, a lot has happened. Previously it was only available as a standalone product, which somewhat hided its Eclipse foundation.
