  • Abstract
    This paper introduces a denotational semantics of a behavioral subset of VHDL. This subset is restricted to basic data types only and does not allow for clauses in wait statement. We consider the full model of time and resolution, we give a precise definition of the simulation mechanism. Easy translation rules from VHDL to Boyer-Moore logic can be derived from that semantics
