Abstract :
The main contribution of this paper is suggesting a number of techniques to enhance SystemC simulation time. Simulation speed is very important, especially at the early stages of the system design. On the one hand, these techniques guide SystemC developers, and on the other, they can be used in automatic code translators. The experimental results show a significant improvement in the simulation time of SystemC codes.
