# SystemC Class Library



## About SystemC



  SystemC addresses the need for a system design and verification language that

  spans hardware and software.  It is a language built as an ANSI C++ class

  library created for design and verification.  Users worldwide are applying

  SystemC to system-level modeling, abstract analog/mixed-signal modeling,

  architectural exploration, performance modeling, software development,

  functional verification, and high-level synthesis.  The SystemC API and

  its semantics are developed by the [Accellera Systems Initiative][1] and

  formally standardized and governed by the IEEE in the

  [IEEE Std. 1666-2023][2] standard.



  This version of SystemC is the **reference implementation** provided by

  the [Accellera Systems Initiative][1] and is mainly developed by the following

  Accellera Working Groups



  * [SystemC Language Working Group][3] (LWG)

  * [SystemC Datatypes Working Group][4] (SDTWG)



  In the event of discrepancies between the behavior of this implementation and

  statements made in the [IEEE Std. 1666-2023][2] standard, the IEEE standard

  shall be taken to be definitive.

## About Accellera SystemC Working Groups



  Accellera's SystemC [Language Working Group][3] (SystemC LWG) is one of the

  Accellera Working Groups that produce effective and efficient Electronic

  Design Automation (EDA) and Intellectual Property (IP) standards for today's

  advanced IC designs and embedded systems.  The SystemC LWG is responsible for

  the definition and development of the SystemC and TLM core languages, the

  foundation on which all other SystemC libraries and functionality are built.

  Participants of both working groups include member companies and industry

  contributors.  Technical contributors typically have many years of practical

  experience with IC and system design as well as developing and using EDA

  tools.



## About Accellera Systems Initiative



  Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization

  dedicated to create, support, promote and advance system-level design,

  modeling and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics

  industry.  The organization accelerates standards development and, as part of

  its ongoing partnership with the IEEE, its standards are contributed to the

  IEEE Standards Association for formal standardization and ongoing change

  control.  For more information, please visit [www.accellera.org][1].  Find out
