SystemC Modeling with Introduction to TLM 2.0

A three-day workshop for engineers who are new to SystemC or those who may be self-taught. Covers the SystemC C++ class library and the TLM 2.0 library.

This three-day workshop introduces the student to the SystemC C++ class library and the TLM 2.0 modeling standard. It is intended for engineers who are new to SystemC or those who may be self-taught, with an interest in learning SystemC for modeling purposes.

The student will learn how to write, compile, execute and debug system and hardware descriptions with SystemC as well as a basic introduction to the OSCI TLM 2.0 modeling standard.

This course is mixed lecture and exercises, with an exercise for nearly every topic.
