OSCI Introduces SystemC Synthesis Subset Draft Standard - Opens for Public Review
(BUSINESS WIRE) - OSCI:
WHO: The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent, non-profit
organization dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC as an
industry-standard language for electronic system-level (ESL) design,
today announced the release of the draft 1.3 standard of the SystemC
Synthesis Subset.
WHAT: The Synthesis Subset Draft 1.3 standard is intended for use by
logic designers, electronic engineers and design automation tool
developers. It describes a standard syntax and semantics for SystemC
synthesis. The standard includes hardware constructs at the behavioral
and register-transfer levels, and is based on the ANSI C++ standard and
the IEEE 1666 -2005 Standard for SystemC. The purpose of the SystemC
Synthesis Subset standard is to define common syntax and semantics that
can be recognized by all compliant high-level synthesis tools. Complying
with this standard will allow users doing hardware implementation in
SystemC to produce designs using a well-defined coding style,
independent of the particular implementation of synthesis technology by
any vendor.
WHEN: The electronic design community is invited to participate in the
public review of the Synthesis Subset Draft 1.3 standard, open until
Jan. 31, 2010. Results of the review and comments will be made public
Q3, 2010.
WHERE: The Synthesis Subset Draft 1.3 standard is available for download
under open-source license at www.systemc.org.
Comments may be made by means of OSCI's Synthesis
Discussion Forum.
