i am rewriting in Java a low-level hardware simulation that i have written
previously in C++ with CSIM19. CSIM is a process-oriented discrete event
simulation library. anyone may answer any part of my e-mail:
---
1) what ptolemy classes act as low-level process-oriented DE library to
replace what CSIM did, for example:
create processes
synchronizing events (set, clear, wait)
resources (counters, buffers, process waiting queues)
---
2) from experience, can anyone suggest whether the message-passing DE model
(based on fire()) or a process-oriented model is 'easier' for
electronics-level simulation? (ie. would it be worth it to convert my
existing C++ process model to a message model?)
---
3) initially i intend to use the simulator without virgil (console and custom
GUI). what are the ptolemy classes or combinations of classes that would
approximately correspond to:: ?
Model - ex: in my simulation, this would be the class that implements
electronics with a parameterizable topology (for example: instantate N chips,
N^2 links, etc.), whose instantiation would contain all of the active
simulation components
Components
Experiment - a (detailed, time indexed) statistical history of a model
subjected to events, which would control the simulation time/execution
..
maybe if you can help me with these questions, i will write a 'Ptolemy for
CSIM Users' transition guide.
