Abstract
SystemC is a new open source library in C++ for
developing cycle-accurate or more abstract models of
software algorithms, hardware architecture and system-
level designs. SystemC is meant to be an interoperable,
modeling platform allowing seamless tool integration.
Our objective is to evaluate the feasibility of linking a
third party software to SystemC without modifying the
SystemC source. We chose the development of a GUI as
such an application. This application illustrates a set of
applications following the observer pattern defined
recently in software engineering. This class of
applications can be loosely coupled to a platform
designed following specific rules of software reuse.
