SystemC came into being due to the engineering demands to model System-on-Chips (SoCs). SoCs require that we model both hardware and software concurrently thereby increasing the level of complexity ...

High-level design (HLD) represents a hardware design at a more abstract level than register transfer level (RTL). A high-level synthesis (HLS) tool then can be used to produce the RTL necessary to ...

OSCI has recently published their TLM-2.0 technology which provides for interoperability between SystemC models of electronic components whose primary interfaces are memorymapped busses. This is a ...

Power consumption is often more important than performance in today’s SoC designs because of battery size and power dissipation limitations. The dilemma is that the most leverage available to optimize ...
