Abstract
SystemC is a subset of C++ combined with a set of libraries aimed at the specification, simulation, and synthesis of digital hardware. It arose as a formal specification of what many designers had been doing for years to simulate very large systems, namely writing them in C or C++ in a structural style that would eventually lend itself to implementation in synchronous digital hardware.
