Abstract :
We present a set of guiding principles for the management of multiple clocks domains in the design of a high-level hardware description language. Our motivation of the requirements is based on typical design problems; the solutions are based on common engineering practices and appropriate language abstractions. We include examples, and conclude with some comments based on a design experience
