Abstract: As the description language library of System-on-chip, SystemC can define executable virtual prototype of hardware platform and has become do facto industrial standard, but can not make full use of the computation capacity of SMP (Symmetrical Multi Processing) for the inherent property of sequential simulated kernel. ho solve the problem,this paper proposed a software development method from kernel engine to high level modeling. By utilizing parallel programming, the method improves kernel scheduler algorithm and implements really parallel simulation kernel, on the basis of which, combining interfaccmethod-call mechanism and hierarchy channel conception of SystemC, proposes a kind of rapid software development hicrachy. hhe experiment shows modeling system-on-chip by the method can efficently improve simulated speed,and possesses highly developed efficiency in project.

Key words: System-on-chip, Virtual prototype, Kernel scheduler, SystemC, hransation level modeling
