  • Simulation model for a digital system
    Patent number: 6161081
    Abstract: A simulation model for a digital system comprises a number of functional units, interconnected by a number of interface units for transmitting messages between the functional units. Each interface unit includes a mechanism for automatically composing and decomposing messages into higher and lower levels of design. The interface thus provides a general mechanism which allows units at any level to communicate with units at any other level, for mixed-level modelling.
