Digital hardware design typically is done using a specialized language, called a hardware description language (HDL). This approach is based on the idea that hardware design has unique requirements.

Spade is an open-source hardware description language (HDL) developed at Linköping University, Sweden. Other HDLs you might have heard of include Verilog and VHDL. Hardware engineers use HDLs to ...

Clearly, hardware-description language-based methodologies increasingly are a hindrance to simulation and verification. It's time for designers, as they did a decade ago, to consider moving up a level ...

The first time I came into contact with the concepts of a digital hardware description language (HDL) and digital logic simulation, I inherently understood how it all “worked.” The idea that the ...

I recently attended an invited talk by a senior manager of a design group within a large networking company. He described the group’s verification flow and it quickly became obvious that hardware ...
