Introduction of System Level Architecture Exploration Using the SpecC Methodology
­System level architecture exploration
–Focuses on changing the implementation from one target architecture to another target architecture, at the specification level of abstraction.
–Allows the designer to compare implementations on different target architectures and make trade-off decisions at the highest level of design abstraction.
–Defines a method to improve the current implementation by changing some part of the target architecture to meet design needs.
