Re: [boost] Is there interest in a Simulation library?

1 Oct 2013


      Hi, 
In the context of the (oversimplified) example: 
Time is virtual and "parallel devs" is an algorithm defined in [1] by Alex Chung Hen Chow and Bernard P. Zeigler in 1994.
It defines how to run several submodels in parallel and obtain the same results as running everything sequentially, but faster.

An oversimplified example of use:
int main(){
   devs pdev; // the parallel devs engine
   devsmodel mod; //some model already implemented
   simulation sim(mod, pdev); //a simulation gather together a
   simulator
engine and a model
   sim.runUntil(10000s); //run the first 10000 seconds of
   simulation.
}
What does parallel_engine means in this context? It parallelize the
processing of a cycle?
Also, could you clarify why the interface would use time values
instead of
cycle count?
Or is the time value relative to a virtual clock instead of real
time?
In my experience, it is incredibly useful to not associate time with
the
processing of a cycle, so that the user code can work with it in
different
kind of context.
