ABSTRACT
System architects working on SoC design have traditionally been hampered by the lack of a cohesive methodology for architecture evaluation and co-verification of hardware and software. This paper focuses on a comprehensive analysis framework providing platform assembly facilities, system analysis tools, enhanced traffic model and SystemC TLM IP. This framework has been intensively used to design and analyze complex SOC Interconnect based on STBus protocol such as the one of 71xx families. By hiding the complexity of a simulation and filling the gap towards spreadsheet study and costly On-Chip analysis using traffic model, architects benefit from an easy access to an efficient simulation for performance evaluation.

Co-simulation framework of SystemC SoC virtual prototype and custom logic (abstract only)
FPGA '13: Proceedings of the ACM/SIGDA international symposium on Field programmable gate arraysTo address the increasing demand of System-on-Chip (SoC) for high performance applications and IP programmability, specialized SoC with custom logic is developed in a single chip or multi-chip system. Like any other SoC platforms, early software ...
Simulation acceleration of transaction-level models for SoC with RTL sub-blocks
ASP-DAC '05: Proceedings of the 2005 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation ConferenceThis paper presents an optimized channel usage between simulator and accelerator when the simulator models transaction-level SoC while accelerator models RTL sub-blocks. Conventional simulation accelerators synchronize the progresses of simulator and ...
