Deriving operational semantics from denotational semantics for Verilog

Z. Huibiao, Jonathan P. Bowen, He Jifeng · 2005

This paper presents the derivation of an operational semantics from a denotational semantics for a subset of the widely used hardware description language Verilog. Our aim is to build equivalence between the operational and denotational semantics. We propose a discrete denotational semantic model for Verilog. A phase semantics is provided for each type of transition in order to derive the operational semantics.
