Title :
VLSI designer´s interface
Abstract :
This paper discusses SystemC-based solutions for electronic system level (ESL) design to implementation. SystemC provides an interoperable modelling platform that enables the development and exchange of very fast system-level C++ models. It also provides a stable platform for the development of system-level tools.
