Digital Circuit Architecture: Procedural and Pipelined Computing

The article discusses the fundamental differences between procedural and pipelined computing in digital device architecture. It focuses on the providing practical implementation of digital circuits on FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays).

The author, Kirill Alekseev, a leading engineer at YADRO's Radio Frequency Center, explains that HDL code describes digital circuits rather than a sequence of instructions. In this architecture, modules operate in parallel, and conductors connect the output of hardware-realizable blocks to the other's input.
