Discrete event simulation

toma has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need a discrete event simulator, and I have been using the Simpy (simpy.sf.net) discrete event simulation package. Simpy doesn't happen to be written in Perl, so I have been using this project as an excuse to try Python again.

However, I am still interested in something like Simpy for Perl. Does anyone know of a discrete event simulation package for Perl? I would like to hand off this project at some point. We possess plenty of Perl people but paltry Python programmers.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma

Skimming the Simpy overview, its core looks a lot like POE to me. Together with a GUI Toolkit like Tk, GtK or Qt such a system could easily be built in perl, just connecting the dots. --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

I've produced an event simulator named Sim which is somewhat similar to Simpy in my SVN repos: The Sim Simulator Only 2 .pm files, pretty simple to implement, but still rather powerful ;) It's truly general-purpose and thoroughly tested at the moment though it's currently a subproject of my logic circuit simulator, Tesla , which uses it as the core. There is some (English) POD in the .pm files of Sim and I've also written a trivial M/M/1 and M/M/m sample app here: SuperMarcket Simulation A corresponding report with some code snippets and interesting pictures can also be found here: doc/report.html Sorry for the Chinese characters in this report, but there is always a Google Translate :) If you find this thing useful, I may feel like putting it onto CPAN. Hope this helps. Cheers, agentz	[reply]

I think this is really interesting, AND useful. You should definitely put it on CPAN.	[reply]

Glad you like it :) Will do in the next few days.	[reply]
