|

@item help @command{<string>}
|
||||
If <string> is a valid command, it prints the usage instructions for that specific command
|
||||
@item @command{run}
|
||||
Advances the simulation by one or more steps, depending on the actual state and on the value sett ed with setmode
|
||||
@item @command{pause}
|
||||
It is useful only when the advancement mode is continue. Calling again run will cause the simulation to start from the current simulation step.
|
||||
@item @command{stop}
|
||||
Stops the simulation.
|
||||
@item @command{setmode <bool>}
|
||||
This methods allows to change the way the simulation progresses. If the input value is 0 (false), the simulation will advance a single time step for each call to run. If the
|
||||
input value is 1 (true), the simulation will advance contiuosly, waiting the time defined with settimer between each step, until all processes terminate,
|
||||
or some error occurs.
|
||||
@item @command{getmode}
|
||||
Prints the simulation advancement mode: 0 if step-to-step, 1 if continue.
|
||||
@item @command{settimer <int>}
|
||||
This command is used to define how a single time unit is to be interpreted when the simulation advancement mode is continue.
|
||||
The input value is in milliseconds, and it must be in range [0, 10000].
|
||||
@item @command{gettimer}
|
||||
Prints the value of the current timer
|
||||
@item @command{reset}
|
||||
Resets the simulation.Erases the state of the simulation, and takes care of removing any residual or temporary data to ensure the simulation has reached
|
||||
a clean and stable state.
|
||||
@item @command{jumpto <int>}
|
||||
Causes the simulation to jump to a given time unit.
|
||||
@item @command{getpolicy}
|
||||
Prints the current policy.
|
||||
@item @command{getpolicyattributes}
|
||||
Prints the name and the value of the policy's attributes

@cindex output

|

You can seg the textual output of the simulation in your console window or on the GUI window provided with SGPEM v2.
|
||||
The output of RUN is one or more rows each of which represents the state of the schedulable entities.
|
||||
It can be RUNNING, READY, BLOCKED, FUTURE or TERMINATED.
|
||||
The row begins with the number of the instant described by the following lists of states.
|
||||
The instant 0 represents the INITIAL STATE during which no process is running.
|
||||
The scheduler activity begins at instant 1. Each schedulable entity is represented by its
|
||||
name followed by its priority enclosed between round parenthesis.
