Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a active user of SystemC, so had great hopes for either a real reference or even an introductory book. Unfortunately, this book provides neither a introduction to the language, real world help for coders, or even reference material. The free manual with SystemC better then this. Worse, it badly needs editing to clean up awkward sentances.
Generally I expense technical books, but I feel too guilty to bear the company with this overpriced book. Back it goes.

The emergence of the system-on-chip (SoC) era is creating manynew challenges at all stages of the design process. Engineers arereconsidering how designs are specified, partitioned and verified.With systems and software engineers programming in C/C++ and theirhardware counterparts working in hardware description languages suchas VHDL and Verilog, problems arise from the use of different designlanguages, incompatible tools and fragmented tool flows.Momentum is building behind the SystemC language and modeling platformas the best solution for representing functionality, communication,and software and hardware implementations at various levels ofabstraction. The reason is clear: increasing design complexity demandsvery fast executable specifications to validate system concepts, andonly C/C++ delivers adequate levels of abstraction, hardware-softwareintegration, and performance. System design today also demands asingle common language and modeling foundation in order to makeinteroperable system--level design tools, services and intellectualproperty a reality. SystemC is entirely based on C/C++ and thecomplete source code for the SystemC reference simulator can be freelydownloaded from www.systemc.org and executed on both PCs andworkstations.System Design and SystemC provides a comprehensive introductionto the powerful modeling capabilities of the SystemC language, andalso provides a large and valuable set of system level modelingexamples and techniques. Written by experts from Cadence DesignSystems, Inc. and Synopsys, Inc. who were deeply involved in thedefinition and implementation of the SystemC language and referencesimulator, this book will provide you with the key concepts you needto be successful with SystemC. System Design with SystemCthoroughly covers the new system level modeling capabilities availablein SystemC 2.0 as well as the hardware modeling capabilities availablein earlier versions of SystemC. designed and implemented the SystemClanguage and reference simulator, this book will provide you with thekey concepts you need to be successful with SystemC.System Design with SystemC will be of interest to designers inindustry working on complex system designs, as well as students andresearchers within academia. All of the examples and techniquesdescribed within this book can be used with freely available compilersand debuggers &endash; no commercial software is needed. Instructionsfor obtaining the free source code for the examples obtained withinthis book are included in the first chapter.
