+ GHDL is an open-source simulator for the VHDL language. GHDL allows
+you to compile and execute your VHDL code directly in your PC.
+
+ GHDL fully supports the 1987, 1993, 2002 versions of the IEEE 1076
+VHDL standard, and partially the latest 2008 revision (well enough to
+support fixed_generic_pkg or float_generic_pkg).
+
+ By using a code generator (llvm, GCC or a builtin one), GHDL is much
+faster than any interpreted simulator. GHDL runs on Linux, Windows and
+Apple OS X. You can freely download a binary distribution for your OS
+or try to compile GHDL on your own machine.
