The design implementation starts from a TLM high-level description and, following a top- down approach, it is refined towards a corresponding RTL model. However, the bottom-up approach is also adopted in the design flow when already existing RTL IPs are abstracted to be reused into the TLM system. In this context, proving the equivalence between a model and its refined or abstracted version is still an open problem. In fact, traditional equivalence definitions and formal equivalence checking methodologies presented in the literature cannot be applied due to the very different internal characteristics of the models, including structure organization and timing. Targeting this topic, the paper presents a formal definition of equivalence based on events, and then, it shows how such a definition can be used for proving the equivalence in the RTL vs. TLM context, without requiring timing or structural similarities between the modules to be compared. Finally, the paper presents a practical use of the proposed theory, by proving the correctness of a methodology that automatically abstracts RTL IPs towards TLM implementations.","PeriodicalId":345459,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE 2007)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122001124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the components and overall structure of different OFDM protocols are functionally similar, the characteristics of the environment for which a wireless protocol is designed often result in different instantiations of various components. In this paper, we describe how we can instantiate baseband processoring of two different wireless protocols, namely 802.11a and 802.16 in Bluespec from a highly parameterized code for a generic OFDM protocol. Our approach results in highly reusable IP blocks that can dramatically reduce the time-to-market of new OFDM protocols. One advantage of Bluespec over SystemC is that our code is synthesizable into high quality hardware, which we demonstrate via synthesis results. Using a Viterbi decoder we also demonstrate how parameterization can be used to study area-performance tradeoff in the implementation of a module. Furthermore, parameterized modules and modular composition can facilitate implementation-grounded algorithmic exploration in the design of new protocols.","PeriodicalId":345459,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE 2007)","volume":"80 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134445564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
