  • Patent number: 12141021
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may programmatically determine the number and locations of breakpoints and table values in a lookup table so as to reduce their counts. In some exemplary embodiments, the minimum number of breakpoints and breakpoint locations that conform with the error tolerance may be determined along with table values for those breakpoints. The exemplary embodiments may determine if a lookup table that conforms with the error tolerance is feasible and may inform a user of the feasibility or infeasibility of generating the lookup table. Where it is feasible to generate the lookup table, the exemplary embodiments may provide automatic programmatic generation of a lookup table with minimal breakpoints and optimal or near-optimal table values.

  • Patent number: 11636238
    Abstract: Model elements of an executable model, representing a physical system, are partitioned into one or more linear portions and one or more nonlinear portions. Simulating behavior of the physical system, by executing the model, includes, for each of multiple simulation time intervals, for a first nonlinear portion, computing a correlation matrix characterizing noise associated with one or more ports of the model. A scattering matrix corresponds to a portion of the physical system represented by the first nonlinear portion without accounting for any noise within the portion of the physical system. The correlation matrix is derived from the scattering matrix based on noise within the portion of the physical system. Noise sources representing noise within the portion of the physical system are identified based on the correlation matrix. At least one characteristic of noise associated with each noise source is computed, and noise characteristics are output at selected ports.

  • Patent number: 11593540
    Abstract: Systems and methods analyze an executable simulation model to identify existing concurrency, determine opportunities for increasing concurrency, and develop proposed modifications for realizing the opportunities for increased concurrency. The systems and methods may label locations at the simulation model where concurrency exists, and provide information regarding the proposed modifications to increase the model's concurrency. The systems and methods may modify the simulation model if the additional concurrency is accepted. The systems and methods may operate within a higher-level programming language, and may develop the proposed modifications without lowering or translating the simulation model to a lower abstraction level. The systems and methods may also undo a modification, rolling the simulation model back to a prior design state. Accepting the proposed modifications may cause the simulation models to execute more efficiently, e.g., faster.
