RE: [sv-ec] Review of Mantis 890 (clocking blocks)

"time queue" does not appear in 1800. It does appear in 1364, but only
in VPI sections, and is never defined.

 

Thanks,

Shalom

Doesn't Verilog usually refer to a time queue to mean a time slot?

	"time step" is uses throughout the LRM with a different meaning,
similar to what you call "time slot".

	To avoid further confusion, I believe the following taxonomy
will be useful:

	*      time slot - A time for which there are events to process
- The scheduled events at a specific time define a time slot

	*      time step - The time between time slots: The step that
takes the simulator from one slot to the next

	*      time unit - The physical units (s, ms, us, ns, ps, fs)
associated with a time literal plus the unit step
