HDF5 is used extensively throughout several scientific communities and many data analysis/visualization tools have HDF5 file access support. I am not aware of any HDL-simulator type of CAD tool that uses the HDF5 data-store as a signal trace format. I suspect most HDL-CAD users and tool makers are probably focused on digital logic at the wire level. However, if complex data structures (of an abstract model) are going to be traced during simulation, HDF5 might be a good candidate for the dumpfile format. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (OpenBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTCYdIAAoJEGUApdpiqr3gXIIQAKNzbV0t57x4LJTQ7SV18aWn o8kT2tUejl3C6shk0FMRu8SRXp/iQGtnKxRwhMnGM191wV20bw0kK1AYqB2aINx5 ejbWuedfCAyE8mHmOb3QgWzeut+ri6vKDqU2YIHsbgWGizSxp6m1I7+H7+PfZB8y wi1HyaqaKJ77UHXF2dweimgnJR/BKt1kSkygqG/Vj+4rzpDh1vdJhkFLqk5GOIJn lW4w2pDYY6obryB590v50DsCbUr5JmAalQSK1PgMjQzGPN/9UBkAC7e2ghktjhYr 6Cc6PnHjtOUZRFT237r7+FMaDOHIXLnq4gnoscK5M2X54emBJaLh9ovLzfncTjYT OMkAee+sAyDeC6mi0526MU7oA2okG+v4if5mKOLUFEEhsERKz//+Aep8b8V0ocjH XQdQAUeNBdHKHcNDqhMl7vfflkvBx1zilIUYsnQAInZiMo3nXl9tfDpiL6NImcUB GdfHFgW2/b7P3YWYMqgFDXUSGzxeonmm9whOPFOopntN47/oolZkBxXlAMjhv3em eXif+36y5Yw1yOvQR4FBZIq+EGJLySNFSm8JkEMp4LcrkqyQyUkaNN6E9RJrGb1y jQ3OEBP0zLv3iwjP2bYEx3UYdu1zKHAapbxtSDHYEeTP6DSE7+EhT1Xwap3i38oh ZeYOc6jKeKXwT1upbm2x =kMMU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
