VPI DEMONSTRATES AUTOMATIC PARAMETER EXTRACTOR MODULE AT OFC.VPI VPI Voice Print International (Camarillo, CA) VPI Virtual Path Identifier (used in Asynchronous Transfer Mode) VPI Virginia Polytechnic Institute (aka Virginia Tech) Virtual Photonics, the leading developer of design and planning tools for optical components systems and networks, will speed up virtual prototyping with the introduction of the VPIparameterExtractor. The new product complements the existing range of design tools by automatically extracting complex model parameters, to make virtual prototyping more realistic. This leads to reduced design risk, fewer design cycles, better product performance and reduced time to market. The VPIparameterExtractor was jointly developed by Mathematical Systems Incorporated (MSI MSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (MicroSoft Installer) See Windows Installer. (2) (Medium Scale Integration) Between 100 and 3,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, LSI, VLSI and ULSI. ), and incorporates unique optimization and photonic component experience. It is based on the award-winning simulation platform used in VPIcomponentMaker and VPItransmissionMaker. Rudolf Moosburger, group vice president of optical systems at VPI says the new product reflects the fact that virtual prototyping with computer simulators has become an indispensable tool for photonic component and system design. "Simulations further reveal parameter limits for worst-case characteristics of individual components. The results verify manufacturability and lead to guidelines for the process engineer. The key is to use accurate device models with well defined parameters," he explained. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. MSI director Chieki Mizuta, "design decisions require detailed device models with well known parameters. This new product will greatly assist in optimization because it allows us to extract modeling parameters from measurements of real components to be used for virtual prototyping of systems and subsystems." Mizuta said the VPIparameter Extractor application would extend beyond virtual prototyping. "It can extract parameters from measured characteristics of failed devices to determine the cause of malfunction. The data is then used to maximize performance and yield. Sets of unknown component parameters can also be extracted in a non-destructive manner from measured characteristics. This parameter extraction replaces a variety of difficult measuring techniques."
