Single clock fifo

This example creates a StreamFifo, and spawns 3 simulation threads. Unlike the Dual clock fifo example, this FIFO does not need complex clock management.

The 3 simulation threads handle:

Managing the clock/reset

Pushing to the FIFO

Popping from the FIFO

The FIFO push thread randomizes the inputs.

The FIFO pop thread handles checking the the DUT’s outputs against the reference model (an ordinary scala.collection.mutable.Queue instance).
