SystemC is still an evolving language, so designs written in SystemC today may not carry forward (this is true for many programming languages) Like other system modelling languages, SystemC is likely to become a focus for a ‘clash of cultures’, between engineers coming from hardware and software backgrounds.

2022年12月23日 · SystemC is being widely adopted for system-level modeling. Although the complexity of systems can be handled using abstraction levels offered by C/C++/SystemC, their verification is always a bottleneck. One of the great strengths of SystemC is that it can be used for modeling high levels of abstraction which can be used with SystemVerilog ...

2022年1月12日 · Articles related to tags: SystemC to RTL. The article describes a methodology that bridges the gap between SystemC transaction-level models (TLMs) that are used for architectural exploration and SystemC cycle-accurate models of hardware that typically follow much later in a design flow, after many sensitive decisions have been made.

2015年9月24日 · SystemC is alive and healthy in this HLS based application, and this will drive more effective verification methods. It could be argued that formal verification comes into its own at this level, with the abstraction of code blocks improving capacity characteristics, and the functional specification nature of assertions proving a greater fit ...

2008年9月1日 · The SystemC AMS extensions are designed to enhance the HW/SW-oriented SystemC class library by providing a framework for the functional modeling, architectural exploration, integration validation, and virtual prototyping of E-AMS systems.

2011年2月25日 · Formal verification for SystemC/C++ designs; Automated formal technologies can be used to ease the debug and functional verification burden of SystemC/C++ code prior to high-level synthesis. This tutorial, first presented at DVCon Europe explores how these formal techniques can be deployed and provides real-world examples.

2006年9月1日 · The natural SystemC design flow is assumed to be top down, starting with the system performance model for architectural design, then progressing through more refined levels. Using high-level synthesis tools, such a model can produce a functionally equivalent cycle-accurate RTL model that represents the final hardware implementation.

2009年12月1日 · Additionally, the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) introduced the SystemC Verification Library (SCV) in December 2002 and this added data introspection to the language’s analysis capabilities. While data introspection uses run-time information to assemble the metadata for a given model, the metadata itself will suffer from information being ...

2010年9月10日 · The SystemC-SMP software architecture is represented in Figure 2. The TLM-DT VP is the user code after the elaboration phase. It is not part of the simulation engine. The SystemC-SMP kernel is responsible for the creation and termination of simulation objects. It implements shared objects visible to all local schedulers.

2010年4月14日 · Following the SystemC philosophy, the SystemC AMS extensions focus on abstract modeling to deliver overall system-level simulations of ‘real-time’ application scenarios. This requires simulation performance several orders of magnitude higher than that achievable with models described in classical hardware description languages.
