Full description
NVC is a VHDL compiler and simulator. NVC supports almost all of VHDL-2008
with the exception of PSL, and it has been successfully used to simulate
several real-world designs. Experimental support for VHDL-2019 is under
development. NVC has a particular emphasis on simulation performance and
uses LLVM to compile VHDL to native machine code. NVC is not a synthesizer.
That is, it does not output something that could be used to program an FPGA
or ASIC. It implements only the simulation behaviour of the language as
described by the IEEE 1076 standard. NVC supports popular verification
frameworks including OSVVM, UVVM, and VUnit.
