Abstract
VHDL provides concurrent statements to document parallel operations or to abstractly model an ultimate circuit in a behavioral manner. These statements can be executed by a simulator at the same simulated time. Within a process, sequential statements specify the step-by-step behavior of the process. The PROCESS statement is the primary concurrent statement in VHDL. The dataflow style (shown in Chapter 6) is a shorthand form for the VHDL process. The VHDL PROCESS statement (introduced in Section 1.4) permits concurrent algorithms to be described and simulated. A number of different processes may run at the same simulated time.
