Tech Papers



SystemC is a new modeling language based on C++ that is intended to enable system level design and IP exchange. This tutorial paper briefly reviews the hardware modeling features available in SystemC 1.0 and then introduces the new system level modeling features in SystemC 2.0. A small design example is presented that demonstrates how the new features facilitate system level design tasks such as communication refinement and mapping of design specifications to hardware and software implementations. Also discussed is how the new modeling features enable a wide variety of models of computation to be cleanly expressed within SystemC.
