What Does SystemC Mean for Design and Verification?
August 23, 2011
My colleague Jack Erickson recently published in the Cadence System Design and Verification Community a blog post entitled "IP Cannot Be an Efficient Abstraction Level without SystemC!" When I saw the title, my immediate reaction was to write a complementary post called "SystemC Cannot Be an Efficient Abstraction Level without IP!" This caused me to think some about the industry momentum toward using SystemC rather than traditional RTL as a design language. I chose a more general title because there are three key points I want to hit.
