This is a beginner's book on SystemC targeted for both system designers as well as logic designers. Designers who already know VHDL or Verilog HDL will find the book very easy to read and learn about SystemC. Designers can in a very short time start writing SystemC models and simulating them with the information provided in the book.
An excellent foreword has been provided by Stan Krolikoski, the Open SystemC Initiative Chairman -- " ...a primer that gradually introduces the reader to the complexities of SystemC by reference to common digital design concepts ..."
The second edition includes a CD as well, plus improved coverage of the latest SystemC features.
