The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) has hit a snag over some ambiguous wording in the SystemC licensing agreement. Hopefully, it can be quickly resolved so we can move on to the real questions about ...

The issue with SystemC is not whether it is technically able to meet the needs of next-generation designs, but how to harness its power and produce a methodology with the right tools to enable a ...

According to McNamara, a user of SystemC today and a developer of the early Chronologic Verilog simulator: “We had the opportunity with VCS to produce a tool implemented the way we wanted it from the ...

SystemC has complex classes built with C++ It uses strange macros like SC_MODULE, SC_METHOD, and SC_HAS_PROCESS Sometimes it can be difficult to find the cause of compilation errors SystemC takes a ...

"The SystemC Summer of Code program is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience with SystemC while actively contributing to the evolution of the ecosystem,” stated Martin ...

The objective of this paper is to explain the role of systemC in hardware development cycle. Most Engineers would be aware of Advantages and restrictions of SystemC. This paper does not go in to ...

Both a C++ class library and a design methodology, SystemC is suitable for creating cycle-level models of interfaces and hardware architectures. It seems to be emerging as the ...

In SystemC, transaction level modeling (TLM) was created so interfaces could be encapsulated, and the protocol functions abstracted away to improve simulation runtime efficiency.

Forte Design Systems™ , the #1 provider of software to enable design at a higher level of abstraction, today unwrapped its enhanced Cynthesizer™ SystemC-based high-level synthesis product.

Figure 1 shows the tool chain from SystemC to Uppaal. Within STATE, the transformation of a given SystemC design is performed in two phases: first, the transformation engine constructs a Uppaal model ...
