ASICs provide a solution for capturing high performance complex design concepts and preventing competitors from simply implementing comparable designs. However, creating an ASIC is a high-investment ...

SystemC 2.1 supports all hardware concepts introduced by HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL. V2SC proposes a methodology for automatic conversion of Verilog 2001 constructs into SystemC 2.1 language. This ...

The larger and more complex that system-on-chip (SoC) designs grow, the more verification dominates the development process. In fact, effective design reuse puts even more pressure on the verification ...
