TLM (Transaction-Level Modeling)

Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM) is a technique used in electronic design automation to represent how components in a computer system communicate and interact at a higher level of abstraction, rather than focusing on detailed hardware behaviors. TLM simplifies the modeling of complex systems by treating communications between components as transactions, similar to sending and receiving messages. This approach speeds up the design and simulation processes, making it easier for engineers to develop, test, and verify hardware and software systems before they are physically built, ultimately saving time and resources in the development cycle.
