Some weeks ago, I published a posting from my colleague Richard Vlamynck, who was explaining the ideas behind System-C and modeling at different levels of abstraction. He promised to write more and I was very pleased to receive a new contribution …
It’s just me again, blogging about hardware models in general and System-C in particular.
Earlier, I’d mentioned the fact that System-C can be used … Read More

I recent wrote about the similarity in software and hardware design, as they are both performed by writing code in a high level programming language. My colleague Richard Vlamynck, wrote to me, suggesting that he might be able to usefully expand on this topic. He is an unusual guy, even within Mentor Graphics, as he is a modern day “Renaissance man” – he has a very good understanding … Read More

As I work for a company that has traditionally had a strong focus on hardware design, I am particularly interested in the relationship between hardware and software development and the synergies between the two disciplines.
Previously, I have discussed the dominance of software in modern designs [here] and the relationships in the EDA world [here]. But today I want to think about how hardware guys … Read More
