This book serves both as an introduction to computer architecture
and as a guide to using a hardware description language (HDL) to
design, model and simulate real digital systems. The book starts
with an introduction to Verilog - the HDL chosen for the book since
it is widely used in industry and straightforward to learn. Next,
the instruction set architecture (ISA) for the simple VeSPA (Very
Small Processor Architecture) processor is defined - this is a real
working device that has been built and tested at the University of
Minnesota by the authors. The VeSPA ISA is used throughout the
remainder of the book to demonstrate how behavioural and structural
models can be developed and intermingled in Verilog. Although
Verilog is used throughout, the lessons learned will be equally
applicable to other HDLs. Written for senior and graduate students,
this book is also an ideal introduction to Verilog for practising
engineers.
