Honored Contributor1 ENTITY and several ARCHITECTURES
I have a question. If I have one entity and several architectures, which are relating to this entity how can I understand which architecture will be used?

When you instantiate the entity, you also specify which behavioral architecture should be used:
instantiation_label : entity entity_label(architecture_identifier) port map (...) - Altera_Forum
It depends on the "configuration".
The VHDL "configuration" keyword allows you to select which architecture is used by which entity. One other possibility is at instantiation, instead of just using the entity name, use entityname.architchecturename
