Overview

SystemC addresses the need for a system design and verification language that spans hardware and software. It is a language built in standard C++ by extending the language with a set of class libraries created for design and verification. T&VS customers are applying SystemC for architectural exploration, performance modelling, functional verification, and high-level synthesis.

T&VS SystemC Expertise

T&VS has the following expertise and offers the following services:

• Architectural Exploration and Performance Modeling
  • A leading smartphone manufacturer with a reputation for shipping some of the highest performance hardware in the industry was developing an Advanced Memory Subsystem (AMS) with enhanced memory performance for bandwidth hungry blocks. T&VS was selected to develop a performance model of the memory subsystem and for exploration of the subsystems performance features.
• Verification of SystemC Designs Used in High-Level Synthesis
  • Blu Wireless develops mmWave wireless technology for advanced WiGig applications using SystemC to design their silicon IP. T&VS was selected to provide a SystemC UVM environment for verification of the SystemC IP designs.
