PARIS — The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) has moved one step further. It has released a draft of SystemC synthesis subset standard, which is open for public review until Jan. 21, 2010. OSCI is ...
System designers, especially those dealing with communication systems, use MatLab and Simulink or SystemC to specify algorithms to implement in hardware. However, the SystemC approach entails ...
High-level synthesis (HLS) continues to grow in favor among beleaguered system-on-a-chip (SoC) design teams. At the same time, EDA vendors continue to increase the capabilities of their tools. The ...
New design languages and new chips and systems mean a whole new set of design gotchas for today's developers. Once-simple tasks become difficult and, thankfully, once-difficult tasks become easy. This ...
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 ...
Most computer algorithms today are developed in high-level languages on general-purpose computers. But someday they may be deployed in embedded systems where the development, verification, and ...
