  • timing issues have nothing to do with modules.

Normally, a question like this is considered to broad and opinionated for SO. But since I was directly involved in the development and standardization of SystemVerilog, I can present a few facts from an article I wrote about it.



Program blocks came directly from a donation of the Vera language to SystemVerilog by Synopsys , and try to mimic the scheduling semantics that a PLI application has interacting with a Verilog simulator.



A program block's original purpose in SystemVerilog was to avoid race conditions (not timing violations) between sampling and driving signals between the DUT and the Testbench. It also controlled starting and termination of the "test".



Since its introduction, a number of other features within SystemVerilog have subsumed the need for program blocks as I explain in my article.
