VHDL.

VHDL is a computer language which can be used to describe digital circuits. It has some similarity with software languages like C and basic (e.g. if/then/else structures, cases, loops etc.). There are also some important differences, e.g. processes which work in parallel and can communicate which each other by means of signals.

There are simulators to simulate digital circuits described in VHDL, and synthesizers to translate the VHDL into a netlist containing gates and flipflops.
