simpy.rt — Real-time simulation

Execution environment for events that synchronizes passing of time with the real-time (aka wall-clock time).

class simpy.rt.RealtimeEnvironment(initial_time=0, factor=1.0, strict=True)

Execution environment for an event-based simulation which is synchronized with the real-time (also known as wall-clock time). A time step will take factor seconds of real time (one second by default). A step from 0 to 3 with a factor=0.5 will, for example, take at least 1.5 seconds.

The step() method will raise a RuntimeError if a time step took too long to compute. This behaviour can be disabled by setting strict to False.

factor = None

Scaling factor of the real-time.

strict = None

Running mode of the environment. step() will raise a RuntimeError if this is set to True and the processing of events takes too long.

active_process

The currently active process of the environment.

all_of

alias of AllOf

any_of

alias of AnyOf

event

alias of Event

exit(value=None)

Stop the current process, optionally providing a value.

This is a convenience function provided for Python versions prior to 3.3. From Python 3.3, you can instead use return value in a process.

now

The current simulation time.

peek()

Get the time of the next scheduled event. Return Infinity if there is no further event.

process

alias of Process

run(until=None)

Executes step() until the given criterion until is met.

  • If it is None (which is the default), this method will return when there are no further events to be processed.
  • If it is an Event, the method will continue stepping until this event has been triggered and will return its value.
  • If it is a number, the method will continue stepping until the environment’s time reaches until.
schedule(event, priority=1, delay=0)

Schedule an event with a given priority and a delay.

sync()

Synchronize the internal time with the current wall-clock time.

This can be useful to prevent step() from raising an error if a lot of time passes between creating the RealtimeEnvironment and calling run() or step().

timeout

alias of Timeout

step()

Process the next event after enough real-time has passed for the event to happen.

The delay is scaled according to the real-time factor. With strict mode enabled, a RuntimeError will be raised, if the event is processed too slowly.
