Synopsis

*** SOFTCOVER EDITION (with no CD) OF BOOK IS AVAILABLE! ISBN 978-0-9846292-0-6 (Hardcover edition is no longer available) *** This is a beginner's book on SystemC targeted for both system designers as well as logic designers. Designers who already know VHDL or Verilog HDL will find the book very easy to read and learn about SystemC. Designers can in a very short time start writing SystemC models and simulating them with the information provided in the book.

An excellent foreword has been provided by Stan Krolikoski, the Open SystemC Initiative Chairman -- " ...a primer that gradually introduces the reader to the complexities of SystemC by reference to common digital design concepts ..."

The second edition includes a CD as well, plus improved coverage of the latest SystemC features.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

"This is a very useful book for those interested in SystemC for hardware design. It has many practical examples and gives pragmatic advice on what is possible with hardware synthesis" - Grant Martin, Fellow, Cadence Labs

"This book provides an excellent introduction to SystemC. SystemC concepts are clearly explained and illustrated with practical examples. It is a must read for people interested in modeling hardware in SystemC" - Abhijit Ghosh, Synopsys

"This is definitely a reference for designers who want to learn SystemC. Numerous examples guide the reader towards a sound understanding of the language. Higher level SystemC features are introduced and not kept aside. Bottom line, a very good book to SystemC . . . " - Yves Vanderperren, Alcatel Microelectronics
