by Phil Moorby The Verilog Hardware Description Language has had an
amazing impact on the mod em electronics industry, considering that
the essential composition of the language was developed in a
surprisingly short period of time, early in 1984. Since its introduc
tion, Verilog has changed very little. Over time, users have requested
many improve ments to meet new methodology needs. But, it is a
complex and time consuming process to add features to a language
without ambiguity, and maintaining consistency. A group of Verilog
enthusiasts, the IEEE 1364 Verilog committee, have broken the Verilog
feature doldrums. These individuals should be applauded. They invested
the time and energy, often their personal time, to understand and
resolve an extensive wish-list of language enhancements. They took on
the task of choosing a feature set that would stand up to the scrutiny
of the standardization process. I would like to per sonally thank
this group. They have shown that it is possible to evolve Verilog,
rather than having to completely start over with some revolutionary
new language. The Verilog 1364-2001 standard provides many of the
advanced building blocks that users have requested. The enhancements
include key components for verification, abstract design, and other
new methodology capabilities. As designers tackle advanced issues such
as automated verification, system partitioning, etc., the Verilog
standard will rise to meet the continuing challenge of electronics
design.
