In this paper, we systematically define three transaction level TLMs), which reside at different levels of abstraction between the functional and the implementation model of a DSP system. We also show a unique language support to build the r results show that the abstract TLMs can be built and simulated much faster than the implementation model at the expense of a reasonable amount of simulation accuracy.
