This lecture is on efficient
methods for modeling of complex microelectronic systems that enable
a system designer to build large scale simulation models while
ensuring realizability into hardware. Recent years have seen a
surge of interest in use of object-oriented languages (such as C++,
Java) for integrated system modeling as evidenced by growing use of
SystemC, Cynapps and SpecC language/libraries. The question,
however, remains how an integrated circuit designer is to realize
the productivity gains claimed by high-level system modeling
languages while ensuring efficient circuit realizations and/or
ensuring circuit synthesizability using present
high-level/logic-level synthesis technologies.
This lecture presents a methodology to use these
new languages with object oriented paradigms and shows design
examples.
