TLM-2.0 in Action: An Example-based Approach to Transaction-Level Modeling and Model Interoperability

Company: Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI)

This tutorial, presented at the Design and Verification Conference (DVCon) 2009, discusses TLM-2.0 concepts and mechanics, as well as some fine points of the standard that emerged during the development of the Language Reference Manual. The tutorial's examples-based approach details TLM-2.0 and describes how to get the most value out of using the standard. The examples demonstrate modeling styles, as well as integration of legacy models based on TLM-1 interfaces, which are fully preserved in TLM-2.0.

The tutorial is divided into five presentations with a brief introduction and is approximately three hours long.
