A Case Study of AOP and OOP Applied to Digital Hardware Design
Resumo
In this paper we explore a SystemC-based hardware design method which uses aspect-oriented programming concepts. We have designed a synthesizable resource scheduler at register transfer level by using only features available in the SystemC synthesizable subset. The results show that aspect-oriented programming applied to digital hardware design provides a better separation of concerns at the cost of a negligible overhead.
