Abstract
Software programming languages, such as C/C++, have been used as means for specifying hardware for quite a while. Different design methodologies have exploited the advantages of flexibility and fast simulation of models described with programming languages. At the same time, the mismatch (of software languages) in expressing power (for hardware systems) has caused several difficulties. In the recent past, novel approaches have helped in reducing the semantic gap, and in easing the creation of design flows that support system-level specifications in C/C++
