The amount of complexity by which a system is viewed or programmed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the entire system.

The new SystemVerilog coding style is also easy to read and maintain compared to the Verilog method of modelling FSM's. Example 1. FSM Modelling with SystemVerilog. SystemVerilog also provides an ...

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...

IP reuse has reduced the urgency for a higher level of abstraction in complex system-level design, but that still could change. Chip designers have been constantly searching for a hardware description ...

EDN recently featured a lengthy article entitled "SOCs: IP is the new abstraction. Reusable IP, not system-level language, has become the new level of abstraction." The point of view is that SoC ...
