Using the New SystemC TLM-2.0 Standard for the Creation of Virtual Platforms for Software Development and Architecture Design
Overview:
The new SystemC TLM-2.0 standard from the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) is aligning the industry, enabling the creation of truly interoperable SystemC-based virtual platform models. This 1 hour CoWare webinar gives a technical overview of the key elements in TLM-2.0 and illustrates the effective creation of standards-compliant TLM-2.0 models that satisfy the simulation speed and timing accuracy requirements of different ESL design tasks including software development, hardware and software performance analysis, and architecture design.

What you will learn:
The audience will first learn about the key elements in the TLM-2.0 standard:
  • The Loosely Timed (LT) modeling style
    • The blocking transport API
    • The generic payload data structure
    • Temporal decoupling and synchronization
    • The Direct Memory Interface
  • The Approximately Timed (AT) modeling style
    • The non-blocking transport API
    • Approximating bus protocols with the AT API
  • Convenience sockets for seamless integration of LT and AT models
  • Extension mechanisms
After this overview we will show the effective creation of TLM-2.0 compliant models by using modeling libraries to hide complexity, save time, and ease modeling effort, including:
  • The CoWare SystemC Modeling Library (SCML) for the creation of highly efficient and re-usable TLM-2.0 based peripheral models
  • Mixing TLM-2.0 models with legacy models on different levels of abstraction
The webinar concludes by illustrating the practical usage of TLM-2.0 in the context of a CoWare virtual platform for two specific design tasks:
  • A Loosely Timed virtual platform for software development and software performance analysis
  • An Approximately Timed virtual platform subsystem for SoC architecture design
Presenter:
PresenterTim Kogel received his diploma and PhD degree in electrical engineering with honors from Aachen University of Technology (RWTH), Aachen, Germany, in 1999 and 2005 respectively. He has authored a book and numerous technical and scientific publications on electronic system-level design of multi-processor system-on-chip platforms.Today, he is working as a Principal Solution Specialist at CoWare Inc. In this position, he is responsible for the product definition and future direction of CoWare's SystemC-based Platform Architect product line. His special interest is in SystemC modeling methodology and he represents CoWare in the SystemC Transaction Level Modeling related standardization committees from OSCI and OCP-IP.
