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

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
