In this work I show how to build a reference model in systemc using queues, from C++ STD. The DUT:

1. Firstly I needed to select a DUT, from the existing projects available from this site. I decided on a complex multiplier with a trick, which is explained in this page.


2. Secondly I coded the DUT in systemc. The description of the DUT code is given in. DUT page


3. Next I coded a monitor, which collects the data, calculates the expected and stores it in a scoreboard (coded in C++ using queues from STD), to be later (after DUT latency) used to check the output from the DUT. I used c++ and systemc special classes for this monitor.


4. A systemc test-bench was also created. The test-bench instantiates the DUT and monitor, connects the monitor and DUT, defines a clock, drives random data and traces signals, using VCD format.


5. Last compilation and simulation scripts. I use the make-file from OSCI, with three source files. Although it compiles the files, which were modified, the program sometimes does not function well.
   So a script, which touches all sources and fires up the make-file, is available too.


6. The code can be downloaded from:
