The amount of complexity by which a system is viewed or programmed. The higher the level, the less detail. The lower the level, the more detail. The highest level of abstraction is the entire system.

MUNICH, Germany — Jianwen Zhu, a professor at the University of Toronto, proposed a new register-transfer level (RTL) abstraction syntax which he claimed can be implemented by a modest extension to ...

Design of anything, from an ERP application to an embedded software system to a hardware device to a mechanical object, is done at some level of abstraction. Simply, a level of abstraction is the ...

Machine code: the ones and zeroes are an abstract representation of the electromagnetic signals flowing through the wires and computer chips. Assembler: hides away the machine code, allowing a ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

Beryllium is an object-oriented language, allowing developers to start with simple classical and quantum building blocks and progressively create richer, higher-level structures by reusing and ...

I was doing research when I found a suitable definition of levels of abstraction. Honestly, it’s a topic most of us know intuitively without ever fully defining it, like rain. Rain is water droplets ...

Without abstraction, advances in semiconductor design would have stalled decades ago and circuits would remain about the same size as analog blocks. No new abstractions have emerged since the 1990s ...
