Abstract :
There are two important early stages in the design of complex systems: modeling of the system (operational) specification, and modeling of the system performance. A link between operation specification and performance modeling via VHDL (VHSIC hardware description language) is proposed, and it is shown by an example how the models can be made to interact, yielding a synergy leading to design efficiency and accuracy. The usefulness of such a link is justified by an example
