Multi-level Design Methodology using SystemC and VHDL for JPEG Encoder

Abstract

Nowadays, System-on-Chip (SoC) systems are becoming more and more complex and need more time to model, simulate and verification. To reduce the complexity of the system and to boost development time, a new design methodology is required. Along with SystemC library, multi-level abstraction design methodology is proposed as the key concept in SoC design. In this paper, the authors apply this methodology to model and simulate a JPEG encoder using the combination of SystemC and VHDL to explore the architecture and ...
