sc pipes is a SystemC package for building and simulating models of pipelined systems. To use sc pipes, a designer familiar with SystemC should have very little to learn. To create a pipeline simulation with sc pipes, the user builds an sc module for each stage to be used in the pipeline, with only minor di erences from the way such a module would be built in a SystemC program without sc pipes. The user then builds an scp pipeline object, passing to its constructor an expression describing the pipeline's con guration.
