IEEE 1076-2008 - IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual

Standard Details

VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) is defined. VHDL is a formal notation intended for use in all phases of the creation of electronic systems. Because it is both machine readable and human readable, it supports the development, verification, synthesis, and testing of hardware designs; the communication of hardware design data; and the maintenance, modification, and procurement of hardware. Its primary audiences are the implementors of tools supporting the language and the advanced users of the language.

Existing Standards	Superseded 1076c-2007 - IEEE Standard VHDL Language Reference Manual - Procedural Language Application Interface The scope of the proposed project is to amend the existing IEEE 1076-2002 (VHDL) standard by adding a simulation runtime application interface (VHDL Programming Interface or VHPI).
