The goal of OSCI (Open SystemC Initiative) TLM (transaction-level modeling) 2.0 is to enable high-level component models to simply plug into and play with each other in a system model. The standard ...

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 ...

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 ...

I have written about the value of system-level design and moving up to next level of abstraction numerous times. This fall one of the most interesting steps of progress towards effective system-level ...

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 ...

With design complexity always on the rise and an increasing amount of embedded software encapsulation in designs today, engineering teams need to be concerned with power consumption in the initial ...

Multi-processor architectures are becoming prevalent in today’s embedded systems to keep up with growing computational requirements, throughput and integrated system features. As an example, high-end ...

To allow virtual mode reuse in any SystemC environment, Carbon Design Systems announced that it has launched a TLM-2.0 solution for the AMBA protocol to enable modeling the widely adopted AMBA ...
