Title: Andrea Kroll: Inventor of a Dynamic FIFO for Simulation

Introduction

Andrea Kroll is an inventor associated with Milpitas, California, and Synopsys, Inc. Her patent work addresses efficient data transfer and memory use in design simulation. The supplied information lists 1 patent for Kroll.

Latest Patents

Kroll’s listed patent, “Dynamic FIFO for Simulation,” describes placing a dynamic first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer between source and destination models in a simulation. The FIFO begins at a relatively small size and can grow automatically in increments to help prevent deadlock. This approach helps control memory use during simulation. The optimized FIFO size can also guide the desired buffer size in silicon, supporting efficient use of hardware resources.

Career Highlights

Kroll’s documented invention focuses on a practical challenge in simulation: balancing reliable data transfer with efficient resource use. By allowing a FIFO to expand as needed, the design aims to avoid allocating more memory than necessary while reducing the risk of deadlock.

Collaborations

Kroll is associated with Synopsys, Inc. Her listed coworkers include Thorsten Heiner Groetker and Srinivas Bongoni.

Conclusion

Andrea Kroll’s patent presents a dynamic buffering approach that connects simulation performance with efficient memory and silicon resource use.
