how to forget about delta cycles for RTL design

A delta cycle is a VHDL construct used to make
VHDL, a concurrent language, executable on a
sequential computer.

For RTL design, you can adopt some simple rules and
forget about delta cycles.

For testbenches, often you must have a good understanding
of what the simulator is doing.

The term "delta delay" refers to a signal being
scheduled a new value now, but the value does not get
applied until the next simulation cycle a delta cycle
later.

For RTL design, two simple rules:
1) All signal assignments in a clocked process (one that
describes a clock edge) create registers. Assignments in
a chain create a pipeline:

TwoRegProc : process
begin
wait until Clk = ‘1‘ ;
AReg1 <= A ;
AReg2 <= AReg1 ;
end process ;

2) In combinational logic, do not chain signal assignments
together in a process:
BadProc : process (A, B, C)
begin
Y <= A and B ;
X <= Y or C ;
end process ;

In this process, the value of Y seen by X is the
value form the previous execution. There are a number
of "ok" way to fix this, but the right way to do it is
to separate the logic into separate processes or concurrent
statements. In fact, in this case, two concurrent assignments
(ie: not in a process works best):

Y <= A and B ;
X <= Y or C ;

Remember those two points, and you can for the most part
forget about delta cycles for RTL design.

数字集成电路设计-18-UVM

引言 UVM(Universal Verification Methodology)可以理解为形而上的东西,可以理解为是基于System verilog的一个库,提供一些API调用. 其实没必要把UVM抬的那么高,上升到形而上的层次.因为在实际的IC验证时,对某个复杂DUT的验证时,一般都会拆分成那几个模块. 要对DUT测试,肯定需要先产生测试用例,就是UVM中的sequencer和sequence概念. 产生测试用例之后,肯定需要把测试用例送到DUT端口上,作为激励,就是UVM中的driver

uva 1478 - Delta Wave(递推+大数+卡特兰数+组合数学)

题目链接:uva 1478 - Delta Wave 题目大意:对于每个位置来说,可以向上,水平,向下,坐标不能位负,每次上下移动最多为1, 给定n问说有多少种不同的图.结果对10100取模. 解题思路:因为最后都要落回y=0的位置,所以上升的次数和下降的次数是相同的,并且上升下降的关系满足出栈入栈的关系.即卡特兰数. 所以每次枚举i,表示有i个上升,i个下降,用组合数学枚举出位置,然后累加求和. C(2?in)?f(i)=C(2?i?2n)?f(i?1)?(n?2?i+1)?(n?2?i+2)
