Lecture

Hardware Description Languages

Description

This lecture covers the history of hardware description languages (HDLs), starting from the productivity gap in VLSI design to the development of HDLs in the 1980s. It explains the need for HDLs, their role in automating design processes, and the differences between HDLs and traditional programming languages. The lecture also introduces the main HDLs used today, such as VHDL, Verilog, and System C, highlighting their characteristics and applications in describing parallel hardware on different abstraction levels.
