Panel: Transactors: where the virtual world meets the implementation world
Wednesday December 2, 2009, 13:30 - 15:00 | Room: Auditorium

The general topic is to focus on verification of SoC, where you have one part described at a high level of abstraction (the virtual world, untimed) and on the other the cycle accurate part (obviously timed and in RTL). The main topic is how these two worlds communicate with each other, using transaction based communication technology.
