Overview
"System Design: A Practical Guide with SpecC will benefit designers and design managers of complex SOCs, or embedded systems in general, by allowing them to develop new methodologies from these results, in order to increase design productivity by orders of magnitude. Designers at RTL, logical or physical levels, who are interested in moving up to the system-level, will find a comprehensive overview within. The design models in the book define IP models and functions for IP exchange between IP providers and their users. A well-defined methodology like the one presented in this book will help product planning divisions to quickly develop new products or to derive completely new business models, like e-design or product-on-demand. Finally, researchers and students in the area of system design will find an example of a formal, well-structured design flow in this book."--BOOK JACKET.Editorials
Explains the use of the SpecC language for the rapid design of systems-on-chip (SOCs) or embedded systems in general. SpecC design allows for starting design from an executable system specification, allowing for greater productivity gains. To introduce the methodology, SpecC is described as an example of a dedicated, synthesis-oriented system level design language and the four different abstractions levels in systems design are described and refined. The methodology is then applied to two examples, a voice encoder/decoder for mobile telephony and a picture encoder. A complete design environment and possible tools, which can be developed around the described methodology is then developed. Finally, the SpecC Technology Open Consortium, founded as an effort to promote the language as a worldwide standard for interoperability and IP exchange, is introduced. Annotation c.
