VCOMP: A VHDL Composition System

An automated system for creating and managing VHDL design units is described in this paper. This system helps the hardware designer to learn the syntax of the VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and to produce code which can be used for simulations. This demonstration prototype tool is written in C to run on a Sun workstation, and it produces IEEE standard 1076 VHDL code.
