System Design with SystemC™

This book is not meant to be a introductory book or about the SystemC language or coding guidelines. For that please refer to other elementary or primer book or the user guide available for download from systemc website. This book is mainly useful for researchers to understand the philosophy behind the SystemC language and interesting problems addressed by the language.

A very good book, if it is used as a reference material, specially for TLM modeling, it helps along with the code for simple_bus available at www.systemc.org. For starters, I will recommend to add more examples in the text of the book as the systemC library is huge. It is sometimes very hard to remove the bugs, if sufficient examples are not available. A suggestion will be to add a functional model example of a CPU based system design, so that the ideas can be extracted out of the text easily.
