Abstract

ASIM (Architecture Simulator) is a hardware description language for describing the hardware of a digital electronic system. The components of an electronic system are described by three primitives: ALU, Selector, and Memory, which are sufficient to describe any piece of digital electronic equipment. ASIM is different from other hardware description languages in that it uses only these three high-level primitives and is not based upon an underlying programming language. To ease the translation of the specification to hardware, ASIM description primitives closely resemble their hardware counterparts, which leads to more compact descriptions than other languages. ASIM is implemented both in an interpreter and a compiler.
