Description:
Despite being  faster than schematics  entry, hardware design with  Verilog and
VHDL  remains tedious  and inefficient  for several  reasons. The  event-driven
model introduces issues and manual  coding that are unnecessary for synchronous
circuits,    which   represent    the   lion's    share   of    today's   logic
designs. Counterintuitive  arithmetic rules  result in steeper  learning curves
and provide a  fertile ground for subtle bugs in  designs. Finally, support for
procedural generation of logic  (metaprogramming) through "generate" statements
is very  limited and restricts  the ways code can  be made generic,  reused and
organized.
  To address  those issues, we have  developed the nMigen FHDL,  a library that
replaces  the  event-driven paradigm  with  the  notions of  combinatorial  and
synchronous statements, has  arithmetic rules that make  integers always behave
like mathematical integers,  and most importantly allows the  design's logic to
be constructed by a Python program.  This last point enables hardware designers
to  take advantage  of  the  richness of  the  Python language—object  oriented
programming, function parameters,  generators, operator overloading, libraries,
etc.—to build well organized, reusable and elegant designs.
  Other nMigen libraries are built on  FHDL and provide various tools and logic
cores. nMigen also contains a simulator  that allows test benches to be written
in Python.
