A generate–endgenerate construct (similar to VHDL's generate–endgenerate) allows Verilog-2001 to control instance and statement instantiation through normal decision operators (case–if–else). Using generate–endgenerate, Verilog-2001 can instantiate an array of instances, with control over the connectivity of the individual instances.
Value change dump (VCD) (also known less commonly as "variable change dump") is an ASCII-based format for dumpfiles generated by EDA logic simulation tools. The standard, four-value VCD format was defined along with the Verilog hardware description language by the IEEE Standard 1364-1995 in 1996.
The Verilog Procedural Interface (VPI), originally known as PLI 2.0, is an interface primarily intended for the C programming language.It allows behavioral Verilog code to invoke C functions, and C functions to invoke standard Verilog system tasks.
Classical Verilog permitted only one dimension to be declared to the left of the variable name. SystemVerilog permits any number of such "packed" dimensions. A variable of packed array type maps 1:1 onto an integer arithmetic quantity. In the example above, each element of my_pack may be used in expressions as a six-bit integer. The dimensions ...
Sequence items for a test are described abstractly. For example, if the DUT is a register file, it may have ports for a read address and a write address. The sequence item object may have member variables for the read address and the write address. However, these values need to eventually become bits at the input pins to the DUT. [7]
A generator is very similar to a function that returns an array, in that a generator has parameters, can be called, and generates a sequence of values. However, instead of building an array containing all the values and returning them all at once, a generator yields the values one at a time, which requires less memory and allows the caller to ...
The functions implemented in Foreign language can be called from SystemVerilog and such functions are called Import functions. Similarly, functions implemented in SystemVerilog can be called from Foreign language (C/C++ or System C); such functions are called Export functions. DPIs allow transfer of data between two domains through function ...
A concatenative programming language is a point-free computer programming language in which all expressions denote functions, and the juxtaposition of expressions denotes function composition. [4] Concatenative programming replaces function application , which is common in other programming styles, with function composition as the default way ...
