Creating And Running A Simulation

Basic steps to set up a simulation:

1. Create some tasks. Click on Tasks/Add a task... to create a new task. The editor window automatically pops up.
2. Choose the algorithm for the simulation. Click and select an algorithm in the combo box in the upper left corner of the window.
3. Run the simulation. Click on Simulation/Start

The simulation will go on until all tasks are completed. Click on Simulation/Stop to stop the simulation before it is complete. Click Simulation/Pause to suspend the simulation. The simulation can then be resumed by clicking on Simulation/Start again.

The blocks correspond to the use of the CPU by each task. The triangles show the deadlines, before which the task much be completed. The red dots are the missed deadlines, i.e. the moments when the task is still running, whereas its deadline has already been passed.

It is possible to save the simulation results in a text file. Check out Exporting to a text file for more informations.
