System design for DSP applications in transaction level modeling paradigm

In this paper, we systematically define three transaction level models (TLMs), which reside at diferent levels of abstraction between the functional and the implementation model of a DSP system. We also show a unique language support to build the TLMs. Our results show that the abstract TLMs can be built and simulated much faster than the implementation model at the expense of a reasonable amount of simulation accuracy.
