VHDL Modeling of Architectural Building Blocks

To allow the rapid prototyping of application specific signal processors, an extensive VHDL library of architectural building blocks is needed. This library should include behavioral models of the off-the-shelf parts, as well as VHDL synthesizable models. The library can be used by hardware designers to develop and simulate behavioral models of signal processing systems, and then to use a synthesis system to automatically generate a circuit for the design.
