Re: Confused!!

Process is something like an function but architecture is a an implementation ..architechture can have a number of process with it.
 

Re: Confused!!

thanks gopalsamy
can I say that a process is included in an architecture because I can't use sequential statements directly in the architecture.
what about my 1st question :
what's the difference between these reserved words: Quantity , terminal , signal
best regards
 

Re: Confused!!

yes, u cant write sequential statment directly inside the arch.. without a process, as the anything written inside the arch. is considered as a concurent statment
while all inside a process is a sequential,
if u use two processes they will be concurent with each other but each is internally sequential.
