New RTL Modeling Constructs in Verilog

I’ve been packing up my office as Siemens is closing my location. This marks the longest I’ve ever spent in a single office, a whopping 15 years. Coincidentally, I was in the same building earlier with another company, Avant! for an additional 2 years. I’ve got a box of stuff from previous jobs that I rarely unpack. But it happened to go through it and found the proceedings from what was to become the first DVCon in 1992. I doubt these proceedings exist anywhere in digital form.

In the proceedings was a paper I published about a new RTL modeling construct I added to Verilog before it became an IEEE standard. It eventually became known as a NonBlocking Assignment (NBA).
