Bodo Eberhard Hoppe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method for parallel simulation on a single microprocessor using meta-models
    Patent number: 7353159
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to hardware development and design, and in particular it relates to a method for simulating hardware. A meta model (22) is compiled for integrating a plurality of n different instantiations (12A, . . . 12N) of the same hardware model, and facilities and signals of different instantiations are resolved by instantiation-specific name space specifications in a code switch (24,26). Thus, computing time is saved because by simulating the meta model, the processor resources, for instance, storage spaces, are utilized more efficiently.
