“…There are other efforts to provide similar functionalities using SystemC. However, they are mostly TLM-based (like OSSS+R project (Schallenberg et al, 2004)) including operation restrictions, or do not focus on simulation (like Adriatic project ). The presented approach attacks the same problem in a more general way.…”

“…OSSS+R [10] is certainly one of the most prominent approaches towards high-level design methodology for reconfigurable hardware. It is based on OSSS [4], which extends the synthesizable subset of SYSTEMC by adding constructs that enable modelling, simulation and synthesis of object oriented features.…”

The ongoing trend towards development of parallel software and the increased flexibility of state-of-the-art programmable logic devices are currently converging in the field of reconfigurable hardware. On the other hand there is the traditional hardware market, with its increasingly short development cycles, which is mainly driven by high-level prototyping of products. This paper presents a library for modelling reconfiguration in the leading high-level system description language SYSTEMC combining IP reuse and high-level modelling with reconfiguration. Details on the underlying simulation engine are given, which allows safe disabling and re-enabling of all process types without altering the kernel. Novel control statements and internal techniques that allow safe usage of process controlling in conjunction with standard SYSTEMC language constructs are presented. A real world case study using the presented library proves its applicability.

An innovative technique to model and simulate partial and dynamic reconfiguration is presented in this paper. Developed from modifications of the SystemC kernel, this technique can either be used at transaction level (TLM) or at register transfer level (RTL). At TLM it allows the modeling and simulation of higher-level hardware and embedded software, while at RTL the dynamic system behavior can be observed at signals level. The provided set of instructions promises a reduction in the design cycle. Compared with traditional strategies, information about dynamic and adaptive behavior will be available in an earlier stage,. An established application from the automotive domain is analyzed and illustrates the potential of the technique at TLM. The acquired results will assist in the choice of the best cost/benefit tradeoff regarding FPGA chip area.
