Various methods and apparatuses are described for generating a model of hardware components making up an interconnect that facilitates communications between Intellectual Property blocks in an integrated circuit coded in a software programming language at a high level of abstraction that is cycle accurate to a corresponding lower level of abstraction description of the hardware components making up the interconnect. The sub-components of the model at the high level of abstraction are tested in a simulation environment in parallel with the same sub-components of a model coded in a hardware description language at the low level of abstraction in order to verify the functional accuracy and cycle timing between the two models. After the sub-components are tested, the sub-components of the model at the high level of abstraction may be aggregated into a single model at the high level of abstraction that is functionally accurate and cycle accurate to the model at the low level of abstraction.
