We are interested in getting a VHDL simulator to run on Sun 3, Sun 4 or for Vax machines for use in Computer Architecture classes. Would like information on any public domain or resonably priced VHDL simulator. R. Sridhar 135 Bell Hall Electrical and Computer Engineering SUNY at Buffalo Buffalo, NY 14260 rsridhar@cs.buffalo.edu

As part of a PhD project in parallel simulation of digital systems, I have been adapting GNU compiler technology to compile VHDL 1076 models into a (conservative) distributed simulation environment. There are currently three targets: 80386 uniprocessors running SYS V, SUN 3 workstations linked by sockets, and an Encore (shared memory) multiprocessor. There are no intentional omissions to the VHDL 1076 standard. In addition, the simulator allows implementation of design entities in terms of SCALD gate-level descriptions (but not VALID or AIDA's behavioral modeling languages), and SCALD logic macros can be defined in terms of VHDL entities. I would very much appreciate access to large VHDL or SCALD models (and stimuli) with which to stress the functionality and performance of the simulator. Subject to successful testing, I expect an initial release before the end of the year. Release should be under conditions similiar to GNU software. We are interested in feedback on both relative and absolute performance under realistic load. -John Affiliation given for identification only...
