Patent 8055494 was granted and assigned to The Mathworks on November, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Methods and systems for automatically reporting delay incurred in a model is disclosed. The delay may be incurred in a part or in an entire portion of the model. Delay incurred in each component of the model is determined and reported to users before executing the model. The delay of each component of the model may be determined based on intrinsic information of the component. If the intrinsic information of the component does not provide information on the delay of the component, the component may be simulated to determine the delay of the components. The model may be automatically compensated for the delay. The delay is reported prior to the execution of the model, and compensated for without executing the model.
