IP companies have heralded a new age in platform-based design for years – ever since semiconductor integration capacity reached the point where entire systems could theoretically be integrated into a ...

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 ...

Implementing advanced temporal assertions in SystemC is an error prone process due to the limited assertion capabilities of the class library. Current approaches ...

The challenge to produce higher density chips requires a change in the decade-old system design flow. We are at an inflection point similar to the move from schematic-based to hardware description ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction than RTL, such as in SystemC/C++ or MATLAB. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this ...

STATE takes a SystemC design as input and transforms it into a corresponding UPPAAL timed automata model. The transformation is based on a formal semantics defined for SystemC in ...

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - Forte Design Systems™ (www.ForteDS.com), the #1 provider of software products that enable design at a higher level of abstraction and improve design results ...

With a new version 2.1 and its emphasis on transaction-level modeling, SystemC is finding its role as the glue that binds architectural analysis and the RTL implementation world. When the SystemC ...

The SystemC-AMS study group was formed in 2002 to develop analog and mixed-signal extensions to SystemC. In 2006, a SystemC-AMS working group was created within OSCI, and now within the Accellera ...
