TL;DR: The features of SystemC that make it an attractive language for design specification, verification, and synthesis at different levels of abstraction are outlined, with particular emphasis on the new features included in SystemC 2.0 that support system-level design.
Abstract: SystemC is a C++ based modeling platform supporting design abstractions at the register-transfer, behavioral, and system levels. Consisting of a class library and a simulation kernel, the language is an attempt at standardization of a C/C++ design methodology, and is supported by the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), a consortium of a wide range of system houses, semiconductor companies, intellectual property (IP) providers, embedded software developers, and design automation tool vendors. The advantages of SystemC include the establishment of a common design environment consisting of C++ libraries, models and tools, thereby setting up a foundation for hardware-software co-design; the ability to exchange IP easily and efficiently; and the ability to reuse test benches across different levels of modeling abstraction. We outline the features of SystemC that make it an attractive language for design specification, verification, and synthesis at different levels of abstraction, with particular emphasis on the new features included in SystemC 2.0 that support system-level design.
TL;DR: System Design: A Practical Guide with SpecC will benefit designers and design managers of complex SOCs, or embedded systems in general, by allowing them to develop new methodologies from these results, in order to increase design productivity by orders of magnitude.
Abstract: From the Publisher:
"System Design: A Practical Guide with SpecC will benefit designers and design managers of complex SOCs, or embedded systems in general, by allowing them to develop new methodologies from these results, in order to increase design productivity by orders of magnitude. Designers at RTL, logical or physical levels, who are interested in moving up to the system-level, will find a comprehensive overview within. The design models in the book define IP models and functions for IP exchange between IP providers and their users. A well-defined methodology like the one presented in this book will help product planning divisions to quickly develop new products or to derive completely new business models, like e-design or product-on-demand. Finally, researchers and students in the area of system design will find an example of a formal, well-structured design flow in this book."--BOOK JACKET.
TL;DR: In this article, a group of sets containing methods for organizing network and control methods including topological structure organization method, address assignment method, data packet exchange and control method etc. The system organizes topology structure of network and assigns address space of network based on hierarchy.
Abstract: The system includes a group of sets containing methods for organizing network and control methods including topological structure organization method, address assignment method, data packet exchange and control method etc. The system organizes topological structure of network and assigns address space of network based on hierarchy. Topological hierarchical structure and address hierarchical structure are matched strictly. Hierarchical switched network built based on the arrangement above can realize exchanging data packets rapidly according to hierarchical address, replacing IP route by IP exchange completely.
TL;DR: The IP Exchange systems are introduced and their technical approach, their innovative architecture, and the benefits of that architecture are presented.
Abstract: The IP Exchange systems, which include IP ExchangeComm† and IP ExchangeLink†, are Internet protocol (IP) private branch exchanges (PBXs) designed and developed by Lucent Technologies. They are implemented using an advanced distributed computing architecture that leverages open computing and communications standards to create a scalable, reliable switching and feature service platform. This paper introduces the IP Exchange systems and presents their technical approach, their innovative architecture, and the benefits of that architecture.
TL;DR: In this article, a backup exchange 6 (backup TM) is switched over from a waiting system to an operating system, and all IP terminals inside lodgments A, B,... N also log out from the IP exchange (TM) 2, and transmit the IP addresses to the backup exchanges inside own lodgment, respectively.
Abstract: When a trouble is developed in an IP exchange (TM) 2 or a circuit (network) 5 , a backup exchange 6 (backup TM) is switched over from a waiting system to an operating system, and all IP terminals Eqi inside lodgments A, B, . . . N also log out from the IP exchange (TM) 2 , and transmit the IP addresses to the backup exchanges 6 (backup TM) inside own lodgment, respectively, and log in there with a result that the extension telephone calls inside own lodgment is made possible by a control of the backup exchange 6 (backup TM), and therefore, even when a fault occurs in the IP exchange or the circuit, the IP terminals inside the lodgment are backed up and the actuations of the IP terminals are continuously operated, and for example, the extension phone calls inside the lodgment can be realized.
