Abstract: | The On-Chip Communication Network (OCCN) project provides an efficient framework, developed within SourceForge, for the specification, modeling, simulation, and design exploration of network on-chip based on an object-oriented C++ library built on top of SystemC. OCCN is shaped by our experience in developing communication architectures for different System-on-Chip. OCCN increases the productivity of developing communication driver models through the definition of a universal Application Programming Interface (API). This API provides a new design pattern that enables creation and reuse of executable transaction level models across a variety of SystemC-based environments and simulation platforms. It also addresses model portability, simulation platform independence, interoperability, and high-level performance modeling issues. |
