SystemC provides a robust set of extensions to C++ that enables rapid development of complex hardware/software systems. This book focuses on the practical uses of the language for modeling real systems. The wealth of examples and downloadable code methodically guide the reader through the finer points of the SystemC language.

This work provides:

- A step-by-step build-up of syntax

- NEW features of SystemC 2.1

- Code examples for each concept,
- Many resource references

- Coding styles and guidelines

- Over 52 downloadable code examples (over...
