IP companies have heralded a new age in platform-based design for years – ever since semiconductor integration capacity reached the point where entire systems could theoretically be integrated into a ...

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 24, 2015) - OneSpin® Solutions, provider of innovative formal verification and formal equivalence checking solutions, today announced that OneSpin 360 DV™ now supports ...

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 ...

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 ...

System-Level Design moderated a discussion about the future of SystemC with Thomas Alsop, corporate design solution expert at Intel; Ambar Sarkar, chief verification technologist at Paradigm Works; ...

Implementing advanced temporal assertions in SystemC is an error prone process due to the limited assertion capabilities of the class library. Current approaches ...

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 ...

Despite being touted early on as a higher-level alternative to HDLs, hardware modeling in SystemC has suffered for its lack of a path to implementable RTL. Further, SystemC does a poor job of ...

STATE takes a SystemC design as input and transforms it into a corresponding UPPAAL timed automata model. The transformation is based on a formal semantics defined for SystemC in ...

A design tool firm is offering free training in the SystemC language through its website. Forte Design Systems said its introductory course is aimed at engineers who are investigating language ...

High-level synthesis (HLS) is a design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction than RTL, such as in SystemC/C++ or MATLAB. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this ...
