SystemC Public Class in Austin, TX

Modeling & Verification with SystemC Workshop

This four-day event includes both a four-day workshop and a one day seminar. The four-day workshop introduces the student to modeling and verification with C/C++ and the SystemC C++ class library including the SystemC Verification library (2.0-SCV). It is intended for engineers who are new to SystemC or those who may be self-taught, with an interest in learning SystemC with a modeling and verification focus. SystemC Version 2.0 and SystemC Verification Library concepts are taught.

SystemC Functional level and transaction Level (TLM) modeling is covered. Communication refinement methodology and techniques are covered in depth. SystemC Verification concepts are taught. The student will learn how to write, compile, execute and debug system and hardware descriptions with SystemC.

This course mixes lecture with exercises for all major topics.
