Abstract
A technique for distributed processing a partitioned model is provided based on tight functional coupling of multiple submodels of the model. The technique includes, in one embodiment, providing each submodel with a generic coupler to enable processing of the submodel on any simulator instance of any simulator. Submodels coupled with the generic couplers can be processed on the same or different computing units. The generic couplers facilitate communication between submodels through a common communication directory (CCD) by using functions of a generic coupler shared library. The generic couplers further use functions of the shared library to ensure integrity of data transmitted between submodels.
