ABSTRACT

Systems-on-chip (SOC) design calls for the use of executable system design language (SLDL). SpecC is a C-based SLDL designed to embrace the IP-centric design methodology. In this paper, we present a SpecC-language-based approach for system level simulation of SOC. Pros and cons of this approach is compared against the existing library-based approaches. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the various design considerations for the SpecC simulation API as well as our reference implementation.
