All Rights Reserved 11-May-10 Unit objectives After completing this unit, you should be able to:  Apply the PRIM model syntax  Understand the structure of a PRIM model  Use functions in PRIM models  Employ user-defined types in PRIM models 2 PRIM model syntax  PRIM models are actually C / C++ syntax with a data-flow interface:  Interface: ports, parameters, and simulation phases  Call predefined System Studio functions and external function  Use all data types (ANSI C/C++, SystemC, complex, matrix, vector, System Studio specific) and type parameters  One and two-dimensional arrays  PRIM interface enables additional optimizations  Code of the model is parsed and optimized for speed  System Studio clusters models that can be scheduled statically to minimize scheduling overhead at simulation-time.  Note: pointer arithmetic is not supported directly  Designer does not need to deal with dynamic memory management  With the System Studio optimizations the benefits of pointer arithmetic and variables will be lost  When you need pointer arithmetic, use external functions 3 Structure of a PRIM model // description prim_model m_name {  Header section defines the // header section interface main_action{ . .
