Two approaches for developing generic components in VHDL

We consider the one- and two-language approaches (1LA & 2LA) for developing generic components (GCs) for VHDL generators. By 1LA & 2LA we mean a generalization using “pure” VHDL, or using the VHDL abstractions mixed with Open PROMOL, the external scripting language we have developed for building GCs and generators, respectively. We present the evaluation of both approaches
