TLM Modeling Techniques

Based on SystemC

  • Chapter
Transaction Level Modeling with SystemC

Abstract

The TLM concept and methodology are attainable through an implementation founded on the appropriate system level modeling language. Among the abundant choices of system level languages, we have adopted SystemC as our modeling vector at the transactional level for SoCs. This chapter pulls together our development work to date as a concise illustration of the TLM modeling techniques with a particular focus on SoC communication.
