High-Level Design of Soft IPs using C + + and SystemC

We present the investigation of the high-level design of soft IPs based on the meta-programming techniques. We distinguish the meta-programming techniques as follows: the internal (using capabilities of a single language), external (using two languages, where a meta-language performs modifications of a target language code), and extension-based ones. High-level languages such as C++/SystemC can play multiple roles in a system design as target languages, as well as meta-languages. We demonstrate the application of C++ and SystemC in the design of soft IPs using the meta-programming techniques and present the case studies: IP specialization, packaging, wrapping for fault-tolerance, and customisation.
