SystemC is a sophisticated modern language that exploits the very latest in Object Oriented Programming in the C++ language. This means that
SystemC courses developed by WHDL have a very serious prerequisite of adequate C++ knowledge.
C++ courses by WHDL are intended to introduce (or refresh) engineers who will be using C++ for design, modeling or verification purposes such as using the SystemC class library or the SystemC Verification library.
This course is offered in 1-day and 2-day versions to meet the needs of students with different levels of C++ skill.
The following syllabus is for the 2-day C++ course, but indicates the kind of knowledge needed prior to taking a SystemC course.
