However, VHDL was not designed as a general purpose language but as an `HDL`. As the name implies, VHDL aims at modeling or documenting electronics systems. Due to the nature of hardware components --which are always running--, VHDL is a highly concurrent language, built upon an -event-based timing model. +event-driven execution model. Like a program written in any other language, a VHDL program can be executed. Since VHDL is used to model designs, the term :dfn:`simulation` is often used instead of `execution`, with the same -- cgit v1.2.3
