Appendix A
Event Queue
Event management in Verilog hardware description language (HDL) is controlled by an event queue. Verilog modules generate events in the test bench, which provide stimulus to the module under test. These events can then produce new events by the modules under test. Since the Verilog HDL Language Reference Manual (LRM) does not specify a method of handling events, the simulator must provide a way to arrange and schedule these events in order to accurately model delays and obtain the correct order of execution. The manner of implementing the event queue is vendor-dependent.
