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 ...

Due to increased complexity in today's embedded system designs, the importance of design reuse, verification, and debug becomes inescapable. Also, current mixed-language methodologies are not ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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; ...

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 ...

For some time now, advocates of various high-level design languages have sparred over which approach to design at a level of abstraction above register transfer level ...

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 ...

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 ...
