Deterministic level model and method

摘要

The invention relates to a deterministic system level model executed on a computer simulation engine. The system model comprises a plurality of concurrent processes at least some of which communicate with each other and the system model is described in an object oriented simulation language. Each process is a primitive process or a further system level model which converts an input value into an output value. The simulation engine executes in one cycle the behavior of the processes by calculating new temporary output values of the processes and/or temporary internal state values of the processes based on current input values and/or internal state values of the processes . The processes are executed until the temporary output process values and/or temporary internal state values are stable to within a predetermined tolerance. Then only the current process input values and current internal state values are updated with the stable temporary output values and/or internal state values. <IMAGE>
