The goal of OSCI (Open SystemC Initiative) TLM (transaction-level modeling) 2.0 is to enable high-level component models to simply plug into and play with each other in a system model. The standard ...

The paper describes a transaction level model of IEEE STD 1394a-2000 [1] link layer controller IP core and its use in the development of a software stack supporting this controller. Purpose of the ...

After years of working at the register-transfer level, chip designers and verification engineers are warming up to a new approach that may represent the next step up in abstraction. But it's not a ...

In the context of todays increasingly complex SoC's there is a need for design methodologies that start at higher levels of abstraction. Transactional modeling can become this new abstraction level.
