- VHDL Very high speed Hardware Description Language
- a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction, e.g., multiple levels of abstraction, from the details of the sequential organizations, states, inputs, outputs, etc., of the machines that a high- level programming language actually specifies.
- Wikipedia High-level programming language, http://en [dot] wikipedia [dot] org/wiki/High- level_programming_language (as of June 5, 2012, 21:00 GMT).
- high-level programming languages resemble or even share symbols with natural languages. See, e.g., Wikipedia, Natural language, http://en [dot] wikipedia [dot] org/wiki/NaturalJanguage (as of June 5, 2012, 21:00 GMT).
- the hardware used in the computational machines typically consists of some type of ordered matter (e.g., traditional electronic devices (e.g., transistors), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), quantum devices, mechanical switches, optics, fluidics, pneumatics, optical devices (e.g., optical interference devices), molecules, etc.) that are arranged to form logic gates.
- Logic gates are typically physical devices that may be electrically, mechanically, chemically, or otherwise driven to change physical state in order to create a physical reality of logic, such as Boolean logic.
- Logic gates may be arranged to form logic circuits, which are typically physical devices that may be electrically, mechanically, chemically, or otherwise driven to create a physical reality of certain logical functions.
- Types of logic circuits include such devices as multiplexers, registers, arithmetic logic units (ALUs), computer memory, etc., each type of which may be combined to form yet other types of physical devices, such as a central processing unit (CPU) - the best known of which is the microprocessor.
- CPU central processing unit
- a modern microprocessor will often contain more than one hundred million logic gates in its many logic circuits (and often more than a billion transistors). See, e.g., Wikipedia, Logic gates, http://en [dot] wikipedia [dot] org/wiki/Logic_gates (as of June 5, 2012, 21:03 GMT).
- the logic circuits forming the microprocessor are arranged to provide a microarchitecture that will carry out the instructions defined by that microprocessor's defined Instruction Set Architecture.
- the Instruction Set Architecture is the part of the microprocessor architecture related to programming, including the native data types, instructions, registers, addressing modes, memory architecture, interrupt and exception handling, and external Input/Output. See, e.g., Wikipedia, Computer architecture, http://en [dot] wikipedia [dot] org/wiki/Computer_architecture (as of June 5, 2012, 21:03 GMT).
- the Instruction Set Architecture includes a specification of the machine language that can be used by programmers to use/control the microprocessor. Since the machine language instructions are such that they may be executed directly by the microprocessor, typically they consist of strings of binary digits, or bits. For example, a typical machine language instruction might be many bits long (e.g., 32, 64, or 128 bit strings are currently common). A typical machine language instruction might take the form "11110000101011110000111100111111" (a 32 bit instruction).
- the binary number "1" (e.g., logical "1") in a machine language instruction specifies around +5 volts applied to a specific "wire” (e.g., metallic traces on a printed circuit board) and the binary number "0" (e.g., logical "0") in a machine language instruction specifies around -5 volts applied to a specific "wire.”
- a specific "wire” e.g., metallic traces on a printed circuit board
- the binary number "0" (e.g., logical "0") in a machine language instruction specifies around -5 volts applied to a specific "wire.”
- machine language instructions also select out and activate specific groupings of logic gates from the millions of logic gates of the more general machine.
- machine language instruction programs even though written as a string of zeros and ones, specify many, many constructed physical machines or physical machine states.
- Machine language is typically incomprehensible by most humans (e.g., the above example was just ONE instruction, and some personal computers execute more than two billion instructions every second). See, e.g., Wikipedia, Instructions per second, http://en [dot] wikipedia [dot] org/wiki/lnstructions_per_second (as of June 5, 2012, 21:04 GMT). Thus, programs written in machine language - which may be tens of millions of machine language instructions long - are incomprehensible to most humans.
- a compiler is a device that takes a statement that is more comprehensible to a human than either machine or assembly language, such as "add 2 + 2 and output the result," and translates that human understandable statement into a complicated, tedious, and immense machine language code (e.g., millions of 32, 64, or 128 bit length strings). Compilers thus translate high-level programming language into machine language.
- any such operational/functional technical descriptions - in view of the disclosures herein and the knowledge of those skilled in the art - may be understood as operations made into physical reality by (a) one or more interchained physical machines, (b) interchained logic gates configured to create one or more physical machine(s) representative of sequential/combinatorial logic(s), (c) interchained ordered matter making up logic gates (e.g., interchained electronic devices (e.g., transistors), DNA, quantum devices, mechanical switches, optics, fluidics, pneumatics, molecules, etc.) that create physical reality of logic(s), or (d) virtually any combination of the foregoing.

- any physical object which has a stable, measurable, and changeable state may be used to construct a machine based on the above technical description.
- Charles Babbage for example, constructed the first mechanized computational apparatus out of wood, with the apparatus powered by cranking a handle.

- the logical operations/functions set forth in the present technical description are representative of static or sequenced specifications of various ordered-matter elements, in order that such specifications may be comprehensible to the human mind and adaptable to create many various hardware configurations.
- the logical operations/functions disclosed herein should be treated as such, and should not be disparagingly characterized as abstract ideas merely because the specifications they represent are presented in a manner that one of skill in the art can readily understand and apply in a manner independent of a specific vendor's hardware implementation.
- an implementer may opt for a mainly hardware and/or firmware vehicle; alternatively, if flexibility is paramount, the implementer may opt for a mainly software implementation; or, yet again alternatively, the implementer may opt for some combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware in one or more machines, compositions of matter, and articles of manufacture, limited to patentable subject matter under 35 USC 101.
