Design of anything, from an ERP application to an embedded software system to a hardware device to a mechanical object, is done at some level of abstraction. Simply, a level of abstraction is the ...

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...

The amount of complexity by which a system is viewed or programmed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the entire system.

I was doing research when I found a suitable definition of levels of abstraction. Honestly, it’s a topic most of us know intuitively without ever fully defining it, like rain. Rain is water droplets ...

Without abstraction, advances in semiconductor design would have stalled decades ago and circuits would remain about the same size as analog blocks. No new abstractions have emerged since the 1990s ...

Recently I was having a conversation with a user who was creating cycle accurate SystemC models. My initial thought was, “Why would this be necessary?” Through the course of discussions I realized ...

Information technology architecture is where abstractions become real. Modern enterprises are increasingly moving toward ...

Transaction analysis and debug between multiple abstraction levels is now possible with current technology. This paper will present an API and implementation for recording transactions from SystemC, C ...
