simpleSimulation

The simpleSimulation library consists of two examples that model the throughput of cars going through a carwash. simpleCarWash models the carwash in a single monolithic component. distCarWash separates the carwash operation into two components that interact with each other: a car generator (distCarGenerator)and a carwash (distCarWash). This element is provided as an example of discrete event simulation and the SST APIs.

Library	Element	Type	Description
simpleSimulation	simpleCarWash	Component	Car wash modeled as a single, self-contained clocked component that generates its own car arrivals
simpleSimulation	distCarGenerator	Component	Generates car arrivals and sends them to a distCarWash over its car port
simpleSimulation	distCarWash	Component	Car wash that receives cars from a distCarGenerator over its car port

The two-component car wash (from simpleSimulation/tests/test_distCarWash.py)

import sst

generator = sst.Component("generator", "simpleSimulation.distCarGenerator")
generator.addParams({
    "random_seed" : 151515,
    "arrival_frequency" : 2,
})

wash = sst.Component("carwash", "simpleSimulation.distCarWash")
wash.addParam("time", 4320)

link = sst.Link("link")
link.connect((generator, "car", "60s"), (wash, "car", "60s"))
