SystemC Structural Netlist

//Example of structural hierarchy and wiring between levels: SC_MODULE(shiftreg) // Two-bit shift register { sc_in < bool > clk, reset, din; sc_out < bool > dout; sc_signal < bool > q1_s; dff dff1, dff2; // Instantiate FFs SC_CTOR(shiftreg) : dff1("dff1"), dff2("dff2") { dff1.clk(clk); dff1.reset(reset); dff1.d(din); dff1.q(q1_s); dff2.clk(clk); dff2.reset(reset); dff2.d(q1_s); dff2.q(dout); } };

The sc_signal (extends sc_channel) should be used to obtain the compute/commit paradigm. Avoids non-determinacy from races on zero-delay flip-flops. » (See HERE.)

General SystemC channel provides general purpose interface between components.

Other SystemC channel types include FIFOs and semaphores.
