Abstract :
In order to deal with present System on Chip design complexity and short time to market, system level specification/verification techniques and reusable Intellectual Property cores are key factors. To this aim, system level C++ object oriented methodology named IPsim has been developed as a C++ library on top SystemC 2.0. In this paper, the IPsim modeling and simulation of a VDSL modem is presented. Moreover, quantitative comparison between IPsim and behavioral VHDL simulation speed is also performed.
