The synthesis netlist is input to the placement process. The place and route process places each macro from the synthesis netlist into an available location on the target silicon and connects the macros using routing resources available on the target silicon. The placement process analyzes all of the macros used in the design and their connectivity to try to determine an optimal placement for the macros. The placement algorithms take into account a number of technology-specific factors of the target technology to determine whether a particular placement is good or not. After a trial placement and signal route is attempted, the design is analyzed with respect to timing constraints. If the timing constraints are not met, the place and route software continues to try different placements and signal routing to try to meet the constraints.
Typical target devices have areas of the chip where logical functions are placed, and areas where interconnect signals are routed to connect the logical functions. The device is split into a number of logic areas with routing channels that surround the logic areas. Logic areas contain the logical gates to implement the Boolean function of the design. Routing channels contain the signals that are used to connect the logical gates together. For FPGA devices, the routing channels contain programmable interconnect wires. FPGA devices use an onboard RAM to store the value of programmable switches that are used to form the signal interconnections. By enabling the proper sets of pass transistor gates, signal interconnections between logic gates can be formed
Verification in VHDL is timing verification.

While implementing a system in VHDL, we consider two major aspects. One is the external view of the system and the other is the internal view. To represent these two, we have entity and architecture in VHDL programming. Hence, architecture in VHDL provides the internal structure (or functioning or logic) of the system to be designed.
A virtual calculator can be implemented using VHDL. We call it VHDL calculator.
It is the checking of data input to a system to ensure that it is what is meant to have been input.
VHDL provides conversion functions and resolution functions.
VHDL is a text based programming language.
vhdl code for binary to Hexadecimal ?
vhdl code for ascending order of numbers
"&" operator is not synthesized by VHDL synthesis tool.
A function is a subprogram written in VHDL. This program can be called and used in other programs.
VHDL is a hardware description language. It describes the functionality of a hardware as a program. If we know the architecture of 8085, the same can be implemented or coded using VHDL.
In 2008, Accellera released VHDL 4.0 to the IEEE for balloting for inclusion in IEEE 1076-2008. The VHDL standard IEEE 1076-2008 was published in January 2009. Currently, IEEE 1076-2008 is the latest version of VHDL.
