  |  Describing RASSP Systems |   | 
- VHDL is a useful hardware description language for the description and simulation of RASSP systems at the system level  
 - There are other means of describing and simulating at the system level.  For example:   
- Verilog - an HDL based on C    
 - PGM - a graphical queuing network language   
 - VSPEC - a formal language for specifying the constraints and input/output relations of a system   
 - Ada  - a software programming language rich enough to describe DSP products at the system level   
 - ADEPT - An uninterpreted text and graphics language based on VHDL and translatable to VHDL    
 - PERFSIM - a queuing network language translatable to VHDL
