The success of VHDL since it has been balloted in 1987 as an IEEE standard may look incomprehensible to the large population of hardware designers, who had neve

It is recognized that formal design and verification methods are an important requirement for the attainment of high quality system designs. The field has evolv

In the past few decades Computer Hardware Description Languages (CHDLs) have been a rapidly expanding subject area due to a number of factors, including the adv

In the mid 1960s, when a single chip contained an average of 50 transistors, Gordon Moore observed that integrated circuits were doubling in complexity every ye

A Formal Approach to Hardware Design discusses designing computations to be realised by application specific hardware. It introduces a formal design approach ba
