 This simulator is 15 times faster than OSCI's simulator (SystemC 2.1.v1).

 During simulator initialization, SystemCASS builds a signal dependency graph according to the architecture to simulate.

 SystemCASS is a evolution of CASS simulator developped by Frédéric Pétrot and Denis Hommais.
 
+== Which harware components can I use with ? ==
+
+SystemCASS is a SystemC API, respecting LRM specifications.
+SystemC core language is supported.
+
+However, SystemCASS supports only one clock and hardware components have to fit the FSM modeling approach.
+Each hardware component should contain three function kinds :
+  * Transition function;
+  * Moore generation function;
+  * Mealy generation function.
+
+
+Transition function writes new states and depends on inputs. This kind of function is sensitive to positive clock edge.
+
+Moore generation function writes new values to outputs and depends only on internal states. This kind of function is sensitive to negative clock edge.
+
+Mealy generation function, also called combinational function, writes new values to outputs and depends on internal states and/or inputs. This kind of function is sensitive to negative clock edge and given inputs.
