This paper describes the SLIDE language—a hardware-descriptive language desigued for
the description of input/output, interfaces, and interconnected digital systems. The language
allows the description of asynchronous, concurrent processes which can communicate.
Timing and synchronization mechanisms are capable of being described as well. Current
research applications include the use of the SLIDE language for I/O simulation and for
verification of synchronization mechanisms.
