What was it?

SystemC / TLM 2 -based simulations are used to co-simulate hardware / software systems. These simulations allow validation of the hardware design and act as a testbed for software development. The simulators can be implemented at a very abstract (transaction) level through a very precise (pin and cycle accurate) level. These levels of abstraction may be mixed within a single simulation.

When was it?

2007 – 2009

What I did:

• Designed and implemented CPU simulators (C++ with STL, boost and SystemC on Linux/Windows/MacOS)
• Researched and created solutions for unusual SystemC issues
  • Can you get 16,000 threads in SystemC on Windows?
  • How can you interface a SystemC simulation to a real-time display?
  • How can you interface a SystemC simulation to a real-time data source?

Operating Systems:

• Linux, Windows, MacOS

Development Environments:

• make, Eclipse, Visual Studio

Programming Languages:

• C++
