However, we are increasingly experiencing a productivity gap  where the chip complexity that can be handled by current design teams  falls short of the possibilities offered by technological advances.  Together with growing time-to-market pressures, this drives the need  for innovative measures to increase design productivity by orders of  magnitude. \u003cbr\u003e  It is commonly agreed that the solutions for achieving such a leap in  design productivity lie in a shift of the focus of the design process  to higher levels of abstraction on the one hand and in the massive  reuse of predesigned, complex system components (intellectual  property, IP) on the other hand. In order to be successful, both  concepts eventually require the adoption of new languages and  methodologies for system design, backed-up by the availability of a  corresponding set of system-level design automation tools. \u003cbr\u003e  This book presents the SpecC system-level design language (SLDL) and  the corresponding SpecC design methodology. \u003cbr\u003e  The SpecC language is intended for specification and design of SOCs or  embedded systems including software and hardware, whether using fixed  platforms, integrating systems from different IPs, or synthesizing the  system blocks from programming or hardware description languages.  \u003cem\u003eSpecC Specification Language and Methodology\u003c\/em\u003e describes the SpecC  methodology that leads designers from an executable specification to  an RTL implementation through a well-defined sequence of steps. Each  model is described and guidelines are given for generating these  models from executable specifications. Finally, the SpecC methodology  is demonstrated on an industrial-size example. The design community is  now entering the system level of abstraction era and SpecC is the  enabling element to achieve a paradigm shift in design culture needed  for system\/product design and manufacturing. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eSpecC Specification Language and Methodology\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest  to researchers, designers, and managers dealing with system-level  design, design flows and methodologies as well as students learning  system specification, modeling and design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461370369\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461370369\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4515-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 313\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358692143244,"sku":"9781461370369","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461370369.jpg?v=1755111854","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461370369","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
