Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

SystemVerilog is an extensive set of enhancements to the IEEE 1364 Verilog-2001 standard. These enhancements provide powerful new capabilities for modeling hardware at the RTL and system level, along ...

A field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a user-programmable piece of silicon constructed in very large-scale integration (VLSI) technology. The VLSI transistor-level detail is absolutely predefined ...

SystemC 2.1 supports all hardware concepts introduced by HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL. V2SC proposes a methodology for automatic conversion of Verilog 2001 constructs into SystemC 2.1 language. This ...

The latest version of Accellera’s Verilog-Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) standard, Verilog-AMS 2.3, unifies the standard’s previous version with IEEE Std. 1364-2005, the Verilog hardware description ...

This paper reports the scientific collaboration between LLR and PROSILOG. The aim of this collaboration was to show the possibility to quickly implement a system into a FPGA, using SystemC 4 as the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. This article discusses techniques used to achieve this transition, including proxy SystemVerilog interface task calls ...
