Hi,
I am new to Swarm and have a question concerning the time steps in the tool:
1) I want to implement a simulation model of a distributed computer system.
In the model I use arbitrary, floating-point messaging delays and processing
delays (e.g. 0.132323 s). As far as I know, Swarm uses discrete time steps.
Is there still a way of implementing the delays of my model?
Alternatively, I could "discretise" my model in a way that one milliecond
corresponds to one timestep (with large gaps in the simulation time where
nothing is happening). Will the performance of the tool be degraded then ?
2) if 1) is not possible with Swarm: Can anybody recommend a simulation tool
which will be suitable for my application ?
Ideally, it should be in Java, open-source and have similar visualisation
and animation features as Swarm (and also good random number generators and
distributions).
Thanks in advance!
Jacek
