Asp Forum - [ANN] Ruby-VPI 11.0.0

Ruby-VPI is a Ruby interface to Verilog VPI. It lets you create
complex Verilog test benches easily and wholly in Ruby.

Website: http://ruby-vpi.rub...

Install: gem install ruby-vpi

Version 11.0.0 (2006-11-05)

Summary

This release shortens generated Ruby benches and uses the
less confusing notation for defining singleton methods in
generated designs and prototypes.

Notice

â?¢ The arguments for the RubyVPI.init_bench method have
changed.

â?¢ generate_test.rb no longer emits undocumented status
indicators: name and format.

â?¢ The source code is no longer distributed as a zip
package, because it seems to be quite underutilized in
comparison to the tgz and gem packages.

Detail

â?¢ Generated Ruby benches have been shortened to just one
line of code!

â?¢ The less confusing notation of

def some_object.a_singleton_method
do_stuff
end

is now used instead of the

class << some_object
def a_singleton_method
do_stuff
end
end

notation.
â?¡ The tutorial and examples have been updated
accordingly.

â?¢ The pipelined ALU example now has an updated
IntegerGenerator class.

It parallels the current world where so many American jobs have gone
to Asia that people here cant buy what they used too even at the
cheaper prices that resulted from "made in china/korea/thailand".
Short term gain is what business schools have taught for the last
generation.

"Short term gain" implies a longer view than is currently taught by
business schools. "Profit at any cost this quarter" is closer to the
reality.

Agree with you guys, but not sure what it has to do with Tera Nova.

There's the theme that any change in the past may change the future in
unlimited ways, and of course the counter-theme that in Tera Nova
that's just what they will do either to destroy one side in the future
wars, or to make the future so much better there are no future wars.
IOW, Time Wars, cuz you can always go back later and cancel or reverse
the change, and then what? Enough to make your head spin, or to let
screenwriters do whatever they want.

I hope they do leave it with some modest degree of closure, as you
just know they'll only fix it in the first five minutes next season
anyway.

No such storyline has been written out in Terra Nova. When they say that
the people who control the past, control the future they could be speaking
entirely in terms of the concept that the people who control Terra Nova will
have great wealth and power in the future by bringing raw/needed resources
through the return porthole. No 'Time Wars', no 'time loops', no 'time
paradoxes' are needed. It could be as simple as 'the people that control
the trade route will be rich and powerful'.

I agree. I think they will avoid the whole time war issue even though
it looks like there's a good possibility they are on the same Earth.
They look to be just going for a story about evil businessmen looking
for an advantage as always. So they plan on taking the resources of
Terra Nova and using it to both become richer, and to make life under
the dome nicer. Plenty of fresh fruits/vegetable/meat/fish and raw
resources to be found in Terra Nova.

Apples! They have Apples! Even here in 2011 people will stand in line for
hours just to buy an Apple product.

So instead of a War of the Roses this will be a War of the Apples? I
wonder how the two sides will tell the tale of the war in the future.

I barely watch the show, but they've been dropping BROAD hints about
it since day one.

(which does not guarantee that they will follow up on them)

And I thought they had also issued loud warnings about the butterfly
effect in the setup, that's why they don't just scrag every predator
in twenty miles, but of course they also disclaim them since it's
impossible to have a colony that doesn't have some impact. IOW they
are trying to walk the line, but still have a show.

ps - it *is* spelled with two r's? somehow I got it stuck in my head
they were spelling it weirdly with one r. ok

Or they're actually 85 million years in the future which they figure out
after they dig up their own probe.

I think it has less to do with being a tree-hugger and more along the
lines that they've learned their lesson in the future (or past?). Screw
with nature and...well, see my tagline.
