SystemVSIPL: Optimized Object Oriented Software Technology for Heterogeneous Computing

Pentum Group, Inc. proposes to implement SystemVSIPL by writing the VSIPL/VSIPL++ libraries and templates in the SystemC system development language. SystemC has been developed for complex electronic and real-time systems design, implementation, andverification. As an extension of C++, SystemC has all the benefits of Object-Oriented programming for efficient software development productivity, while its key features to support event synchronization and parallelism allow for the creation of veryefficient and high performance parallel applications.SystemVSIPL will result in better optimizations and greater efficiency for modern multi-threaded COTS processors and complex heterogeneous systems. Since SystemC is a also used commercially for high-level firmware and hardware design, a SystemC approachwill result in tighter integration across the whole design space from chip to software application. Most of all, SystemVSIPL should result in code that meets the needs for real-time response.
