Glossary

Dynamic System :

is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in a geometrical space.

Electronic Hardware :

consists of interconnected electronic components which perform analog or logic operations on received and locally stored information to produce as output or store resulting new information or to provide control for output actuator mechanisms.

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) :

is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer or a designer after manufacturing.

VHDL [VHSIC (Very High-Speed Integrated Circuit) Hardware Description Language]:

is a hardware description language (HDL), i.e., a specialized computer language, used to describe the structure and behavior of digital and mixed-signal systems

VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration):

is the level of computer microchip miniaturization and integration which refers to microchips containing in the hundreds of thousands of transistors.
