US Patent Issued to Synopsys on Aug. 25 for "Caching outputs of components in signal-flow-based simulations" (New York, Illinois Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,717,994, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Synopsys Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.).

"Caching outputs of components in signal-flow-based simulations" was invented by Enrico Ghillino (New York) and Pablo Valente Mena (Chicago).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) may be simulated by executing multiple iterations. Each iteration estimates outputs of the components in the PIC from inputs to the components. At least one output is estimated by running a simulation of the component. For at least one component and one iteration, the input for the current iteration is compared against a cached input for the component. Base...
