Using a stream to represent the full history of the sequence of values on a wire in a circuit makes it possible to treat components and their ports as rst-class objects in a hardware description program. Therefore the program can directly operate on the systems of recursion equations that deene the inputs and outputs of components. This provides the foundation for a simple, yet powerful, hardwa...

The Transmogrifier C hardware description language is almost identical to the C programming language, making it attractive to the large community of C-language programmers. This paper describes the semantics of the language and presents a Transmogrifier C compiler that targets the Xilinx 4000 FPGA. The compiler is operational and has produced several working circuits, including a graphics displ...

| In order to design advanced processors in a short time, designers must simulate their designs and re ect the results to the designs at the very early stages. However, conventional hardware description languages (HDLs) do not have enough ability to describe designs easily and accurately at these stages. Then, we have proposed a new hardware description language AIDL. In this paper, in order to...

Over the past years, various techniques for the embedding of hardware description languages within general purpose languages have been developed and explored. In particular, numerous HDLs embedded in strongly typed functional languages have been developed and used for different applications. A common trait of most of these languages is that they treat hardware components as functions or relatio...

With the aid of electronic design automation (EDA) computer-aided design (CAD) tools, it is now possible for engineers to design highly complex digital logic hardware circuits using only high-level circuit descriptions. Such EDA tools include software tools for graphical design input, hardware description language support, simulation, digital logic synthesis, and the creation of configuration (...

Hydra is a domain-specific language for designing digital circuits, which is implemented by embedding within Haskell. Many features required for hardware specification fit well within functional languages, leading in many cases to a perfect embedding. There are some situations, including netlist generation and software logic probes, where the DSL does not fit exactly within the host functional ...

Quantum theory of computation establishes that there are problems for which quantum algorithms are far more efficient than their classical counterpart. Advances in quantum computing have initiated the design of systems based on quantum logic gates. Quantum computer hardware being primarily available in research laboratories at present, it mandates the ability to design, develop and test quantum...

In this paper we intend to present IEEE-754 format and comparison of Cosine Trigonometric functions used in Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in terms of hardware design. Here we find the cosine value by C language and Hardware Description Language (HDL) and checking the error for DCT.

In this paper we present our solution to master the complexity of product adaption cycles of a medical X-ray control unit. We present the real hardware and software platform and our mapping of it to a virtual X-ray control unit, implemented as our hardware-software co-simulation. To reduce complexity for hardware developers, we developed our own XML-based abstract system description language wh...

The paper presents method for hierarchical configurable Petri nets description in VHDL language. Dual model is an alternative way for behavioral description of the discrete control process. Dual model consists of two correlated models: UML state machine diagram and hierarchical configurable Petri net (HCfgPN). HCfgPN are Petri nets variant with direct support of exceptions handling mechanism. L...
