SystemVerilog DPI

SystemVerilog DPI (Direct Programming Interface) is a technology that allows SystemVerilog, which is a programming language used to create computer models, to interact with existing hardware or software components written in other programming languages. This interaction between different programming languages enables SystemVerilog to access existing resources, such as hardware drivers, libraries, and software components, which makes it possible to create computer models that are more complex and realistic. DPI lets SystemVerilog communicate with these other programming languages in a way that is similar to how humans communicate with each other by using words and sentences. The DPI technology makes it easier for SystemVerilog to communicate with other programs and know how to use the information from these other programs.
