Slide 2: Overview
In this presentation, we will explore:
✔ What are Verilog Event Regions?
✔ How scheduling of events happens in Verilog?
✔ The difference between Determinism and Non-Determinism in event execution.
✔ Some practical examples to clarify the concept.
Slide 3: Introduction
Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) that models digital circuits. It
follows a discrete event execution model, meaning that events occur at specific
2/13
simulation times and get scheduled accordingly. The key challenge is handling
parallel execution, which is different from traditional programming languages.

Slide 8: Verilog Regions in Block Diagram
Let’s now look at different event regions in Verilog and how they impact execution.
Blocking assignments ( = )
Display system tasks like $display and $write ✔ Key Property: Events in
this region can execute in any order, leading to potential race conditions.

always @(posedge clk) begin
x <= 1'b0; // Step 1: RHS sampled
x <= 1'b1; // Step 2: LHS updated in NBA region
end

✔ Since x is updated in one block but read in another, the execution order is not
guaranteed, causing non-deterministic behavior.

In digital design, timing and event execution are crucial. How do we ensure signals are
updated correctly? How do Verilog simulators handle multiple parallel processes? The
answer lies in Verilog’s event regions and scheduling mechanisms. Let’s dive in.

Slide 2: Overview
In this presentation, we will explore:
✅ The concept of Verilog Event Regions
✅ How scheduling of events happens in Verilog
✅ Determinism vs. Non-Determinism in execution
✅ Some practical examples to clarify these concepts
By the end, you will have a clear understanding of Verilog’s execution model, helping you
write better and more reliable HDL code.
Slide 3: Introduction
Verilog is a hardware description language (HDL) designed for modeling digital circuits.
Unlike traditional programming languages that execute sequentially, Verilog follows a
discrete event execution model, meaning:
🔹 A Time Slot is a section in the event queue where all events share the same timestamp.
🔹 To maintain order, Verilog subdivides time slots into regions, ensuring proper execution
sequencing. The most important regions are:
Active Region
Inactive Region

Non-Blocking Assignment (NBA) Region
Postponed Region
To prevent unexpected behaviors, Verilog controls how and when events execute using the
different event regions.

✅ This includes:
Blocking assignments ( = )
🛑 Key Point: Events in the active region execute in any order, which can lead to race
conditions.
9/13
✔ Example:
verilog
$monitor
This is extremely useful for debugging because it captures the final value of signals.
🔹 The second assignment overwrites the first because the order is preserved.

Slide 14: Non-Determinism in Verilog
🔹 When multiple always blocks execute simultaneously, their execution order is not
guaranteed.
🔹 Example:
verilog
🛑 Issue: y can get 0 or 1, depending on which always block executes first. This is a classic
race condition.
✔ b should get a ’s value, but since all events in the Active Region execute in any order, b
might receive the old value.
🛑 Problem? Unpredictable behavior.

Example 2: Resolving the Race with NBA
verilog
✔ Since NBA executes in two steps, b receives a ’s updated value, eliminating the race.
🛑 Since these execute independently, the order is undefined, leading to random results.

Understanding Verilog event scheduling is crucial for avoiding race conditions and ensuring
correct simulation behavior.
