Virtualization of SoC, ECUs and other electronic systems is used to explore (micro-)architectures at system level as well as to develop and verify software early in the design cycle. Key to those ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Proclaiming a significant step forward for C-language design, Synopsys Inc. will announce on Monday (Feb. 11) a complete SystemC simulation environment. It's already been put ...

STMicroelectronics has started to roll out tools based around the SystemC language to its design groups as it begins the process to standardise systems modeling techniques across the company on a ...

The concept of system architectural definition at a level of abstraction higher than RTL is a good one. Such methodologies become much more feasible as tools roll out in support. To that end, Synopsys ...

I am amazed how often simulation performance comes up when discussing SystemC and transaction-level modeling. Some of this I can understand. If you are new to transaction-level modeling the ...

Typically, verication is done by synthesising RTL and running it to see how well it performs against the performance specification that were defined at the start of the design. By adjusting the design ...

In order to perform architectural exploration, performance analysis and optimization, early validation of software, improved productivity in hardware development and many other tasks, the industry ...

SystemC came about because of the need to model systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). SoCs require concurrent modeling of hardware and software, increasing complexity to a level that could not be managed any ...
