Abstract
A cost effective mechanism for integrating device models into vendor simulation environments. A generic model wrapper accesses the device model's symbol table and interfaces with the host simulator interface to align the interface signals at initialization/powerup of the device model. In addition, the generic wrapper provides integration flexibility from device to device, and from simulation environment to simulation environment by isolating the specific tasks of the simulation environment at a low level and allowing for the plugging-in of new primitives for each new simulation environment. As a result, the generic wrapper provides a single integration layer for any IDM in any simulation environment without hard-coding the alignment therebetween.
