Celoxica adds SystemC language co-simulation. (Tools).


Celoxica are to include the support of SystemC SystemC is often thought of as a hardware description language like VHDL and Verilog, but is more aptly described as a system description language, since it exhibits its real power during transaction-level modeling and behavioral modeling.  language co-simulation in its Nexus-PDK co-verification solution which broadens the alternatives for customers using Celoxica's DK suite of system design tools by allowing the use of SystemC descriptions for functional system definition and design exploration, along with higher-level languages (HLLS) such as C, C++, and Handel-C Handel-C is a programming language and Hardware Description Language (HDL) for compiling programs into hardware images of FPGAs or ASICs. It is a rich subset of C, with non-standard extensions to control hardware instantiation and parallelism. . The higher levels of abstraction In object technology, determining the essential characteristics of an object. Abstraction is one of the basic principles of object-oriented design, which allows for creating user-defined data types, known as objects. See object-oriented programming and encapsulation.

 represented by these languages are enabling the next wave of EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board.  design productivity, improving time to market and Quality of Design. By supporting multiple language descriptions, Celoxica is opening system- level design approaches to a wider audience by reducing the risk of adoption. As part of this strategy, Celoxica also announced that the company is joining the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) as an Associate Member. www.celoxica.com
