   SESSION 52
  High-Performance Simulation of Transaction Level and Dataflow Models
  Chair: Felice Balarin - Cadence Berkeley Labs, Berkeley, CA
  Organizers: Adam Donlin, Andres R. Takach, Luciano Lavagno, Sandeep Shukla

  High-performance simulation is a crucial requirement for ESL. The first two papers in this session address rapid simulation and throughput-driven optimization of buffer sizes in dataflow models. The remaining papers discuss three advanced SystemC ESL topics. The first is a generic approach to Transaction Level Modeling. The second layers multiple models of computation over the native SystemC kernel. Finally, a UML-SystemC modeling tool with full roundtrip capability is presented.
