VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) 200X Requirements Report/Survey

Abstract : The original objective of the VHDL-200X project was to provide various mechanisms to update the VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) Language Reference Manual (LRM) for the year 2000 and to ensure the successful standardization of that update. The contractual effort was to include research and collaboration with the Air Force and other VHDL users and tool vendors to extend and enhance VHDL to meet current day user requirements. Since the originally planned 3 years effort was cut short to 1 year of funded effort, this report is submitted to document results of work accomplished during the 1 year of effort. It documents the results of the survey of the VHDL user and vendor community that were used to formulate requirements for updates to the VHDL standard.
