Title: Jefferry Phuong Vo: Innovator in Hardware and Software Co-Simulation
Introduction
Jefferry Phuong Vo is a notable inventor based in Portland, OR (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of hardware and software co-simulation, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on improving the efficiency and usability of simulation systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Efficient mechanism in hardware and software co-simulation system." This invention provides an efficient mechanism for performing hardware and software co-simulation that greatly simplifies system implementation. It enhances user controllability and ease-of-use by allowing the hardware and software co-simulators to synchronize at finite and predetermined synchronization points without using polling or busy-wait techniques. The simulators operate independently until a synchronization point is reached, at which they can communicate and control other simulation states, thereby reducing the amount of communication required.
Another significant patent is "Capturing time-slice of emulation data for offline embedded software debug." This method involves recreating states of an embedded processing unit of a design under test (DUT). A host system configures an emulator to implement the DUT, which includes the embedded processing unit and a memory unit. The host system receives a stream of values from the memory unit, indicating execution results of design instructions. It then generates a log file to recreate one or more states of the embedded processing unit based on the stored values.
