System-level design and modeling: ESL using C/C++, SystemC and TLM-2.0

This book discusses principles, methodologies and tools used for a modern hardware design process. Design flows and hardware languages needed for each stage of the design process are discussed, including C/C++ for description of gateand Boolean level logic circuits, SystemC for RTL descriptions, and TLM-2.0 for system level design and description. Following the coverage of languages and techniques for system level design, the book includes discussion of several system level architectures that can be described using C++, SystemC, and TLM-2.0. Introduces system-level design using specific languages needed for each stage of the process. Applies in an ESL context C/C++ for description of gate and Boolean level logic circuits, SystemC for RTL descriptions, and TLM-2.0 for system level design and description. Includes examples of system level architectures described using C/C++, SystemC and TLM-2.0 and shows how a high-level specification of a hardware component is mapped into a system-level architecture template. INDICE: System-Level Design. Logic Simulation with C/C++. Object-Oriented Logic Modeling. RT Level Description with SystemC. Channel Based Communication. Abstract Communications (TLM 2.0). System Level Architectures.
