Overview |
The VHDL Timing Model Derivation Toolset is a set of tools to support the semi-automatic derivation of timing models used in the aiT timing analysis framework. Within the tool set, Vhdl2Crl2 is able to read in a VHDL description and converts it into an intermediate format called Crl2. Based on that, the model can be examine and explored with the slicer (VhdlSlicer). This effectively supports model understanding. The remaining tools in the tool set can be used to reduce the model to those parts that actually determine the timing behavior of the specified hardware component. In addition, the introduction of model state abstractions is supported. The resulting abstract timing model can be feed to the VhdlPipelineAnalyzerGenerator in order to generate a so called pipeline analysis that fits into the tool chain of the aiT framework. |
