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 ...

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 ...

Elk Grove, Calif. -- June 14, 2018-- Accellera Systems Initiative (Accellera), the electronics industry organization focused on the creation and adoption of electronic design automation (EDA) and ...

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 ...

Synopsys is broadening its DesignWare silicon and verification IP portfolio by announcing the availability of a lineup of SystemC transaction-level models called the DesignWare System-Level Library.

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 ...
