fork-join & always

[Melvin]

Hi,

Please can someone help me with this.

I have an always state machine in my RTL running in background.

Now, if my Verification Test Case contains some statements in a
blocking fork-join statement,
will my RTL state machine (which uses some of these signals assigned
in the fork-join) still run in parallel to fork-join, or will my
always will have to wait for the fork-join to exit.

Thanks in advance

Hi Steven,

Yes us for the first right? i.e my RTL state machine (which uses
some of these signals assigned
in the blocking fork-join) will still run in parallel to fork-join.
Please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks
