SystemC provides a robust set of extensions to the C++ language that enables rapid development of complex models of hardware and software systems. The authors focus on practical use of the language for modeling real systems, showing:

• A step-by-step build-up of syntax
• Code examples for each concept
• Over 8000 lines of downloadable code examples
• Updates to reflect the SystemC standard, IEEE 1666
• Why features are as they are
• Many resource references
