Abstract
The increasing complexity of system-on-a-chip (SoC) design is challenging the design engineers to estimate the system bandwidth. A method of SoC system bandwidth estimation based on electronic-system-level (ESL) is proposed, which estimates the system bandwidth by transaction-level-modeling (TLM) and analysis depended on simulation. Compared with the traditional RTL simulation, the estimation is effective and the simulation speed is more than two orders of magnitude faster.
