CoWare has committed to support the newly released SystemC 2.1 language reference manual (LRM) as it becomes standardised by IEEE P1666. CoWare will deliver initial support in two steps. The latest releases of CoWare's ConvergenSC Model Library and CoWare's SystemC IP creation tools, including LISATek and SPW, provide SystemC models that are compliant with the proposed LRM today.

These models, and any models or designs created to early SystemC 2.1 specifications from the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), can be used immediately in the latest release of CoWare's ConvergenSC SystemC toolset.

Secondly, ConvergenSC tools will be updated to take advantage of minor C++ implementation changes recommended by the proposed LRM.

CoWare will support these changes in the next release of the ConvergenSC tools, which are otherwise compliant with the LRM now.

CoWare will track the formal IEEE standardisation process to ensure each new tool and IP model library release complies with the IEEE standard.

'As a founding member of OSCI and a member of the IEEE P1666 committee, CoWare is pleased that this important standard will be adopted by the IEEE', said AK Kalekos, CoWare's Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.

'All OSCI members should be very proud of the work they have done to make SystemC the industry leading ESL modelling language'.

'Because of our direct involvement in its definition, CoWare is able to respond quickly with commercial support of SystemC 2.1'.
