To implement chip design on satisfactory target architectures. architecture exploration should be done at higher levels of abstraction. in the earliest design stages. Using the SpecC language. an executable system level design language. system level architecture exploration can proceed easily and sniootlily as the system specification is being created. A SpecC methodology of system level architecture exploration is introduced within this paper to illustrate this process. The design of a P E G encoder is used as an example to illustrate the system level architecture exploration methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
