“…SystemC can describes hardware at high levels of abstraction, the primary advantage to designing any system at the system level is having the ability to implement that system from the highest level of abstraction, i.e specifications model. From a system design methodology perspective [3,8], there are a number of intermediate models that can be defined and then used to reduce the complexity of the system design process. Using intermediate models divides the entire design into slices (small design tasks).…”

“…As shown in Fig. 2, the nonpersistent CSMA is modeled in SystemC by using two main elements, the mutual exclusion object Mutex and sc_signal resolved [3]. The first one lets agents to share shared wireless channel model without colliding by allow for just one agent to send data packets and the other one allows the agents as multiple writers to access wireless channel.…”

-This paper presents Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) communication model based on SoC design methodology. Such model can be used to support the modelling of the complex wireless communication systems; therefore the use of such communication model is an important technique in the construction of high performance communication. SystemC has been chosen because it provides a homogeneous design flow for complex designs (i.e. SoC and IP based design). We use a swarm system to validate CSMA designed model and to show how advantages of incorporating communication early in the design process. The wireless communication created through the modelling of CSMA protocol that can be used to achieve communication between all the agents and to coordinate access to the shared medium (channel).

“…TLM can help to speedup the simulation by replacing all pin-level events with a single function call. For instance, a single bus transaction produces approximately 75 events in an RTL simulation compared to only a handful of events in a TLM simulation [16]. It is possible to reach speedup factors up to 10.000 x [15].…”

Abstract:In systems ranging from mobile devices to servers, Dynamic Random Access Memories (DRAM) have a big impact on performance and contributes a significant part of the total consumed power. Conventional DDR3-based solutions are stretched thin as their maximum bandwidth is limited by the I/O count and interface speed. As new solutions are coming onto the market (JEDEC DDR4, JEDEC WIDE I/O, Micron's hybrid memory cube: HMC or JEDEC's high bandwidth memory: HBM) it is critical to evaluate the performance of these solutions and assess their suitability for specific applications. Furthermore, in systems with 3D stacking, the challenges of high power densities and thermal dissipation are exacerbated. It is crucial to have a flexible and holistic DRAM subsystem framework for exhaustive design space explorations, which can handle all this different types of memories, as well as the aspects of performance, power and temperature.

“…In the area of design languages, there has been a lot of discussion about the role and applicability area of the various existing and new languages. (Black & Donovan, 2004) is a modelling platform consisting of C++ class libraries and a simulation kernel for design at the system and register transfer levels. Been a C-based language, SystemC can bring the gap between software engineers used to work with C and C++, and hardware engineers, that use other languages such as Verilog or VHDL.…”
