TLM 2.0

This 2-day workshop introduces the student to the IEEE 1666-2012 TLM 2.0 modeling standard. It is intended for engineers who are familiar with SystemC, with an interest in learning the TLM 2.0 modeling constructs and coding styles. The student will learn how to write models that conform to the TLM2.0 standard, using both the Loosely-Timed (LT) and Approximately-timed (AT) coding styles, and offering additional features such as Direct-Memory (DMI), Debug access, and payload extensions. This course is mixed lecture and exercises, with an exercise for nearly every topic.

Engineers with SystemC experience who want to write ultra-high performance SOC models of memory-mapped systems.

After completing this comprehensive training, you will have the necessary skills to:

• Write ultra-high performance transaction-level models suitable for executing system firmware and RTOS code
• Write models using Untimed (UT), Loosely-timed (LT) and Approximately-timed (AT) levels of abstraction as defined in the IEEE TLM-2.0 standard
• Explain timing fidelity versus performance in order to develop the most efficient model appropriate to your needs
