getSimulation

Deprecated

This function is deprecated as of SST 13. All functions previously available through SST getSimulation() are now directly available through the component classes.

Simulation* getSimulation();

Availability: Component, SubComponent, ComponentExtension

Return the SST simulation instance. Most APIs available via the simulation object are also available through the Component API so this function should not generally be necessary.

Parameters​

  • returns (Simulation*) Pointer to the simulation instance

Example​

Excerpt from sst-elements/src/sst/elements/cassini/cacheLineTrack.cc
void cacheLineTrack::notifyAccess(const CacheListenerNotification& notify)

    const NotifyAccessType notifyType = notify.getAccessType();
    switch (notifyType) {
        case READ:
        case WRITE:
            auto iter = cacheLines.find(cacheAddr);
            if (iter == cacheLines.end()) {
                // insert a new address 
                SimTime_t now = getSimulation()->getCurrentSimCycle();
                iter = (cacheLines.insert({cacheAddr, lineTrack(now)})).first;
