PLEASE NOTE: This is a ONLINE SELF-PACED training.

Course Overview

Essential C++ for SystemC takes engineers who have a basic knowledge of the C programming language and gives them a fast-track way to acquire a good grounding in C++, which is an essential foundation for learning SystemC.

This self-paced training is only available via the Doulos Thinkific Learning Portal. Please contact your local Doulos team to discuss your training needs and how to access the course. 

Select the drop-down blocks below to find out more.

  • Hardware design engineers who wish to become skilled in the practical use of SystemC for modelling digital hardware
  • System engineers and architects who wish to become skilled in the practical use of SystemC for system level modelling
  • Software engineers who already have good knowledge of C/C++, but who wish to acquire some practical experience in the use of the SystemC class libraries
  • The C++ language features necessary to master SystemC
  • Object-oriented programming techniques as used by the SystemC class libraries
  • The SystemC core language, data types and channels
  • How to make best use of the SystemC simulator to debug and validate your models
  • How to move up from RTL modelling to transaction-level modelling
  • An introduction to the SystemC TLM-2.0 standard
  • An overview of high-level synthesis using SystemC (optional)
  • An overview of the SystemC Verification Library SCV (optional)

Essential C++ for SystemC attendees need basic knowledge of the C programming language, in particular familiarity with C functions, variables, data types, operators, and statements.

This training is suitable for people with no previous knowledge of C++, as a refresher for those with limited knowledge of C++, or for hardware engineers who are familiar with VHDL or Verilog®.

Please contact Doulos direct to discuss and assess your specific experience against the pre-requisites.
