Built for system modeling
Every chapter targets a real semiconductor task — transactions, SystemC modules, TLM-2.0 sockets, processor/cache models, DPI reference models. No game, web, or GUI content.
Interview-ready depth
Tiered interview module plus per-chapter weighting — templates, smart pointers, SystemC kernel, TLM sockets, and the modeling questions actually asked of architecture and DV engineers.
Beginner → architectural modeler
From C++ fundamentals and OOP to SystemC, TLM-2.0, virtual platforms, golden reference models, and DPI-C integration — the full path to building transaction-level and architectural models.
