ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 20 -- United States Patent no. 8,020,124,
issued on Sept. 13, was assigned to Sonics Inc. (Milpitas, Calif.).
"Various Methods and Apparatuses for Cycle Accurate C-Models of
Components" was invented by Herve Alexanian (San Jose, Calif.),
Chien-Chun Chou (Saratoga, Calif.), Vida Vakilotojar (Mountain View,
Calif.) and Grigor Yeghiazaryan (Yerevan, Armenia).
According to the abstract released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark
Office: "Various methods and apparatuses are described for generating a
model of hardware components making up an interconnect that facilitates
communications between Intellectual Property blocks in an integrated
circuit coded in a software programming language at a high level of
abstraction that is cycle accurate to a corresponding lower level
of abstraction description of the hardware components making up the
interconnect. The sub-components of the model at the high level of
abstraction are tested in a simulation environment in parallel with
the same sub-components of a model coded in a hardware description
language at the low level of abstraction in order to verify the
functional accuracy and cycle timing between the two models. After
the sub-components are tested, the sub-components of the model at
the high level of abstraction may be aggregated into a single model
at the high level of abstraction that is functionally accurate and
cycle accurate to the model at the low level of abstraction."
The patent was filed on May 19, 2008, under Application No. 12/122,988.
