—In this paper, we propose a library for the system level modeling and simulation of the system which includes Dynamically Reconfigurable Architectures(DRAs). The proposed library is an extended SystemC library. Using the proposed library, the designer can model the system specifications including modules for the dynamic generation and elimination and ports and channels for the dynamic connection and dispatch between them, that are needed in the design of general-purpose dynamically reconfigurable systems at the system design level. In addition, we evaluate the proposed library by the modeling and simulation of sample circuits, such as partially DRA and multi-context DRA. Using the proposed library, we can model the system specifications naturally, and as much the same amount as a description, such as one using multiplexers and demultiplexers, which is a modeling formula for describing multi-context DRA. Under some conditions, higher-speed simulation is possible using the proposed library.
