Advances in both the physical properties of chips and in design tools allow us build huge systems into “just a few” square millimeters. The problem is that modeling these systems at the ...

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — One of the most common ways to use SystemC is to write transaction-level models that greatly speed the verification process. These models, however, have not had an automated path ...

Transaction-level modeling (TLM) verification methodologies are propagating down from power users, such as large systems houses and integrated device manufacturers, to the broader design community. As ...

After many years of expectation, we're finally seeing increased use of generally usable methods of hardware design at an abstraction level higher than RTL. This is more than just behavioral level, as ...
