| Name |  Official 2.3.0 release (7MB) |
| Description | The Accellera Systems Initiative is proud to announce its release of version 2.3.0 of the SystemC library. Version 2.3.0 add compatibility to the newly released (January 2012) IEEE-1666-2011 standard and has been much anticipated by the SystemC community. Following the updated IEEE standard 1666-2011, this release provides a number of important new features. Accellera's TLM 2.0 is now officially part of the IEEE standard and with this release, users only need a single download to obtain an implementation of what was previously two separate libraries; extensive process control features are added which enable modeling of concepts such as power domains and abstract schedulers; a new container for SystemC objects and first-class event lists simplify the description of generic and scalable models; an improved simulation API and a new thread safety mechanism will allow much better interaction with external tools and support for multi-threading; and of course the library includes numerous bugfixes. Documentation has been reorganized for clarity, and there is a new document highlighting the features added for compliance with the latest version of the SystemC standard. The library, installation notes and readme files have been updated to support installation on the latest operating systems and compilers. To ensure a high quality release, the library has been reviewed and tested performed by members of the SystemC Language Working Group and feedback from the recently completed public review has been incorporated in the release. The Accellera Systems Initiative encourages SystemC users and tool suppliers everywhere to move to the new IEEE-1666-2011 standard. The IEEE 1666-2011 standard may be obtained by visiting http://www.accellera.org/downloads/ieee/ and the newly released version of the open source library (and the corresponding regression suite) may be downloaded by visiting http://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards. Many thanks to all the volunteers who have made this new standard and the updated library release possible. |
