STRUCTURE - The definition of the Architecture

The STRUCTURE section of the entity description language describes which entities from the entity library are to be included in the architecture description and how many of them there are. It also deals with how the entities and connected together.

architecture_entity - This defines a component (aentity) to be included in the architecture.
communication_channel - This defines a link to be added to the architecture. The definition of an architecture link is the same as that for a link in a higher level component.

Aentity - Architecture Entity - AENTITY typename inst_name ( DESCRIPTION ( "description" ) )

The AENTITY construct provides a mechanism for adding components from the entity library to the architecture description.

typename str - The type name of the entity in the entity library to be included in the architecture description.
inst_name str - The instance name of the entity to be included. Note that the entities of the same type must have different instance names.
description str - A description of an aspect of the new architecture component.

Example: AENTITY cache Primary_Cache ( DESCRIPTION ( "A cache instance" ) )
