SystemC Object-Oriented Extensions and Synthesis Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present an overview about the object-oriented hardware description language SystemCPlus that is based on SystemC. First we discuss the chances lying in the application of object-oriented techniques for designing hardware. Afterwards we give an introduction into SystemC-Plus’ basic features and depict their use by means of some descriptive examples. And finally we will give a brief overview of the synthesis framework that is necessary to make hardware starting from object-oriented models.

SystemC TLM Transaction Modelling and Dispatch for Active Object
The approach presented in this paper is a contribution to the methodology of transaction-level modelling (TLM) based on SystemC and the TLM standard of the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI). Different from previously published approaches to the use of SystemC / TLM, we use object-oriented features to represent transactions, namely an inheritance relationship of transaction classes, transaction pol...
متن کاملObject-Oriented ASIP Design and Synthesis
SystemC-Plus from the ODETTE project provides the ability to simulate and synthesise object-oriented specifications into hardware. The current ODETTE compiler translates each object instance into a finite state machine; this effectively duplicates (modulo dead code removal) in hardware the methods of a class for each of its instances. We describe an alternative synthesis approach which parallel...
متن کاملEnergy Estimation with SystemC: A Programmer's Perspective
A modification to the SystemC library to enable power estimation of digital systems built upon a set of primitive logic gates is proposed. Acknowledging both the intense requirement for low power systems as well as the increasing use of SystemC as a modeling methodology, an approach for obtaining the dynamic power consumption of SystemC modules is presented. In order to correctly handle glitche...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملApplication of the object-oriented principles for hardware and embedded system design
As the complexity of hardware (HW) and embedded system design is constantly increasing, the researchers are seeking to develop new more abstract and productive design methods or adapt the existing ones from other domains such as software design. This paper addresses the problem of using the object-oriented (OO) design techniques in HW domain. The main OO design techniques are as follows: abstra...
