It is a language built +in standard C++ by extending the language with the use of class +libraries. The language is particularly suited to model system's +partitioning, to evaluate and verify the assignment of blocks to +either hardware or software implementations, and to architect and +measure the interactions between and among functional blocks. Leading +companies in the intellectual property (IP), electronic design +automation (EDA), semiconductor, electronic systems, and embedded +software industries currently use SystemC for architectural +exploration, to deliver high-performance hardware blocks at various +levels of abstraction and to develop virtual platforms for +hardware/software co-design. SystemC has been standardized by +the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) and Accellera Systems Initiative +and ratified as IEEE Std. 1666-2011. + +For enabling pthreads set the environment variable PTHREAD=yes. |
