Confluence combines the component-based methodologies of Verilog and VHDL with the expressiveness of higher order functional programming. In comparison to Verilog, VHDL, and C, systems designed in Confluence result in 2X to 10X code reduction, making the source easier to manage and reuse. And because Confluence relies on a correct-by-construction compiler, bugs are reduced--some are prevented altogether--thus reducing the overall verification effort. Essentially it's a high-level HDL that can generate VHDL, Verilog, JHDL, C, etc, from a functional-style description. Quite a few open hardware cores are written using this language, and it's growing in popularity in industry as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
