This paper presents a description and an analysis of three standard" hardware description languages (HDLs): Very High Speed Integrated Circuit HDL (VHDL), Verilog-HDL, and Unified Design Language for Integrated Circuits (UDL/I), Kyoto University Education Chip (KUE-Chip) is used as a design benchmark to compare the features and syntax of VHDL, Verilog-HDL, and UDL/I.

This paper describes a new method for verifying designs at the RTL with respect to their specifications at the functional level. The base of the verification method shown here is the translation of the specification and design representations to graph models, where the descriptions common to both representations have a symbolic representation. These symbol labeled graphs are then simplified and, by solving the all node-pair path expression problem for them, a pair of regular expressions is obtained for every two nodes in the graphs. The first regular expression in each pair represents the flow of control and the second one the flow of data between the corresponding nodes. The process of verification is carried out by checking whether or not every pair of regular expressions of the specification has a corresponding pair in the design.
