Public Review for AMS Draft 1 Standard Begins

OSCI recently released the first draft standard proposing SystemC AMS extensions. SystemC AMS extensions enable system-level design and modeling of Analog/Mixed-Signal systems by defining additional language constructs and execution semantics for efficient simulation of discrete- and continuous-time behavior. The AMS draft 1 standard is available for download under open-source license at no cost to users. The kit includes the AMS draft language reference manual (LRM), the requirements specification, a whitepaper, and a first example showing the basic capabilities of the AMS extensions.

The SystemC community is encouraged to provide feedback by March 31, 2009 at http://www.systemc.org/Discussion_Forums/ams_forum/.

Read the recent AMS update by Martin Barnasconi, AMS WG Chair

  DVCon Tutorial

"TLM-2.0 in Action: An Example-based Approach to Transaction-level Modeling and the New World of Model Interoperability"

Tuesday, Feb 24
1:30 pm to 5:00 pm

Register at: www.dvcon.com/html/reg.html ($50 fee required)


The June 2008 adoption of TLM-2.0 as an OSCI standard marks the culmination of several years of intensive work. Significant effort has been invested in developing examples to describe and demonstrate the draft standard's content. This tutorial will present the details of TLM-2.0 using an examples-based approach and how to get the most value out of using the standard. The examples demonstrate the modeling styles, as well as integration of legacy models based on TLM-1 interfaces, which are fully preserved in TLM-2.0.
