Conclusion
Distinction between machine and model kind FP types reveals VHDL FP problems
Supporting IEEE 754 Java VM like FP types is the best simple solution
An XML based FP descriptor could lead to unified support of FP types in VHDL and Verilog
Role for semantic standards in HDL was identified
A new set of optimizations for area and low power become feasible through the users’ choice of FP formats
Meaning (semantics) inheritance is more important then model properties inheritance (for the HDL progress)
