Free Open SystemC Initiative Video Tutorial Details TLM-2.0 in Action
Presentations from Leading Experts Captured at 2009 DVCon now Online
MEDIA ADVISORY
WHO: The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC(tm) as an industry-standard language for electronic system-level (ESL) design, presents a free, online video tutorial titled "TLM-2.0 in Action: An Example-based Approach to Transaction-level Modeling and the New World of Model Interoperability." To register and view, visit: http://www.systemc.org/news/events/tlm20tutorial.
WHAT/WHEN: This video tutorial, containing highlights of presentations from the 2009 Design and Verification Conference (DVCon), discusses TLM-2.0 concepts and mechanics as well as some fine points of the standard that emerged during the development of the Language Reference Manual. The tutorial's examples-based approach details TLM-2.0 and describes how to get the most value out of using the standard. The examples demonstrate modeling styles as well as integration of legacy models based on TLM-1 interfaces, which are fully preserved in TLM-2.0. The tutorial is divided into five presentations with a brief introduction and is approximately three hours long. It is available now.
AGENDA: The tutorial features five notable speakers:
- John Aynsley, Technical Director, Doulos
- David Black, ESL Technologist, XtremeEDA
- Jack Donovan, President, XtremeEDA
- Frank Schirrmeister, Director, Product Marketing, System-Level Solutions, Synopsys
- Zhu Zhou, Component Design Engineer, Intel
Highlights include:
- An overview of the concepts and the intent of the TLM-2.0 standard including a brief history of transaction-level modeling in SystemC and the next steps for TLM-2.0.
- An introduction to TLM-2.0 concepts.
- A brief introduction to the TLM-2.0 LRM, plans for the LRM, and some fine points of the standard that have emerged during the LRM development process.
- An introduction to the TLM-2.0 examples.
- An example of TLM-2.0 concepts for a real life component.
- An example application of TLM-2.0 concepts on a system design.
WHERE: This video tutorial is available online at the OSCI website, www.systemc.org. To register: http://www.systemc.org/news/events/tlm20tutorial.
WHY: Transaction-level modeling (TLM) continues to grow in importance for architectural exploration, performance analysis, building virtual platforms for software development, and functional verification. The TLM interface standard enables SystemC model interoperability and reuse at the transaction level, providing an essential framework for system-level design. The June 2008 adoption of TLM-2.0 as an OSCI standard marks the culmination of several years of intensive work. Significant effort has been invested in developing examples to describe and demonstrate the draft standard's content.
