Package jline.solvers.wrappers.jmt.handlers

Class SaveHandlers

java.lang.Object
jline.solvers.wrappers.jmt.handlers.SaveHandlers
public class SaveHandlers extends Object
Handles the generation and serialization of JMT (Java Modelling Tools) simulation models.

This class is responsible for converting LINE network models into JMT XML format for discrete-event simulation. It provides comprehensive support for translating various network components including nodes, routing strategies, service disciplines, and performance metrics.

The class supports both JSIMg (JMT Simulation Graph) and JSIM (JMT Simulation) XML formats, with JSIMg being the default format that includes additional simulation parameters such as confidence intervals, maximum relative error, and stopping criteria.

Key Features:

  • Conversion of LINE Network models to JMT XML format
  • Support for complex routing strategies and class switching
  • Handling of various node types (Sources, Queues, Delays, Sinks, etc.)
  • Translation of service disciplines and scheduling strategies
  • Cache modeling with different replacement strategies
  • Fork-join synchronization patterns
  • Performance metric collection and measurement configuration

Supported Node Types:

  • Sources with various arrival processes
  • Queues with different scheduling disciplines
  • Delay stations for pure delays
  • Sinks for job termination
  • Routers for probabilistic routing
  • Forks and Joins for synchronization
  • Caches with replacement strategies
  • Transitions for Petri net models

    • SaveHandlers

      public SaveHandlers(Network simModel, double simMaxRelErr, double simConfInt, SolverAvgHandles avgHandles, long seed, String simFileName, long maxEvents, long maxSamples, double maxSimulatedTime)
      Constructs a SaveHandlers instance with full simulation parameter control.

      This constructor allows complete customization of all simulation parameters for JMT model generation. It is typically used when specific simulation configuration is required beyond the default settings.

      Parameters:
      simModel - The LINE network model to be converted to JMT format
      simMaxRelErr - Maximum relative error for simulation stopping criterion (e.g., 0.03 for 3%)
      simConfInt - Confidence interval for simulation results (e.g., 0.99 for 99%)
      avgHandles - Collection of performance metric handlers to be included in the simulation
      seed - Random number generator seed for reproducible simulation results
      simFileName - Output filename for the simulation model (empty string for default naming)
      maxEvents - Maximum number of events to simulate (0 for unlimited)
      maxSamples - Maximum number of samples to collect for each metric
      maxSimulatedTime - Maximum simulation time (use GlobalConstants.Inf for unlimited)

    • SaveHandlers

      public SaveHandlers(Network simModel)
      Constructs a SaveHandlers instance with default simulation parameters.

      This convenience constructor uses SolverJMT default values for all simulation parameters, making it suitable for most standard simulation scenarios. The default configuration provides reasonable accuracy and performance for typical queueing network analysis.

      Default Parameters:

      • Maximum relative error: 3%
      • Confidence interval: 99%
      • Random seed: 23000
      • Maximum samples: 10,000
      • Maximum events: unlimited
      • Maximum simulation time: unlimited
      Parameters:
      simModel - The LINE network model to be converted to JMT format

  • Method Details

    • updateNetworkStruct

      public void updateNetworkStruct(NetworkStruct sn)
      Updates the internal network structure used for model conversion.

      This method allows updating the network structure after the SaveHandlers instance has been created. This is useful when the network model has been modified or when working with multiple network configurations.

      Parameters:
      sn - The new network structure to use for subsequent conversions

    • getExportableClasses

      public boolean[] getExportableClasses()
      Returns a boolean array indicating which classes should be exported to JMT. Classes with 0 customers are normally skipped unless they are used as cache hit/miss classes (since jobs will switch into them) or can receive jobs via class-switching from another class in the same chain.
      Returns:
      boolean array of length nclasses, true for classes to export

    • saveArrivalStrategy

      public DocumentSectionPair saveArrivalStrategy(DocumentSectionPair documentSectionPair, int ind)

    • saveBufferCapacity

      public DocumentSectionPair saveBufferCapacity(DocumentSectionPair documentSectionPair, int ind)
      Saves buffer capacity for JMT XML. LINE uses Kendall notation where cap = K = total system capacity (queue + in-service). JMT's "size" parameter also represents total capacity K.

    • jmtReachablePopulation

      public static double jmtReachablePopulation(NetworkStruct sn, int ist)
      jmtReachablePopulation(int) against an explicit struct, so that SolverJMT.jmtMethodRefusal can apply the writer's own BINDING test without building a writer. sn.cap is DERIVED for a station the user never capped, so "the cap is finite" is not the question -- "the cap is below what can reach the station" is.
      Parameters:
      sn - the model struct
      ist - station index
      Returns:
      the reachable population, possibly infinite

    • jmtCapIsUnbounded

      public static boolean jmtCapIsUnbounded(NetworkStruct sn, int ist)
      Is the buffer at station ist UNBOUNDED, as the JSIM writer reads it?

      THIS PORT DOES NOT CARRY Inf ON sn.cap FOR AN UNBOUNDED STATION, and that is what makes the question worth a named predicate. Station.cap is an int, so it cannot hold Inf: its "no bound" value is Integer.MAX_VALUE (Station.hasFiniteCap() is the predicate for the declared one). refreshCapacity then derives a station's capacity as min(sum(chaincap row), sum(classcap row)), and it SUMS that sentinel across the classes served there -- so an unbounded MIXED station comes out as 2147483647 + 2 = 2147483649 for one open and one closed class, and a Source serving two open classes as 2 x 2147483647 = 4294967294. Utils.isInf(double) recognises the sentinel EXACTLY and so does not see a sum of them.

      >= Integer.MAX_VALUE is refreshCapacity's own idiom for the same question (chainCap >= Integer.MAX_VALUE, station.getCap() >= Integer.MAX_VALUE), and it is safe because setCapacity takes an int: no capacity a caller can declare is larger. MATLAB, native python and C++ all carry a genuine Inf here, so this narrowing is the JAR's alone.

      saveBufferCapacity used to ask the question by NARROWING to int first, which saturates the sum back onto Integer.MAX_VALUE and made Utils.isInf answer correctly by accident. Naming it here is what lets the gate ask the same question as the writer instead of reading the raw double and concluding that every mixed model has a binding buffer.

      Parameters:
      sn - the model struct
      ist - station index
      Returns:
      true when the station has no bound a job can reach

    • jmtStationCapRefusal

      public static String jmtStationCapRefusal(NetworkStruct sn, int ist)
      jmtStationCapAssert(int) as a SENTENCE rather than an exception, against an explicit struct; empty when the buffer at ist is exportable.

      ONE PREDICATE, TWO CALLERS. saveBufferCapacity raises it while writing the JSIM document, and SolverJMT.jmtMethodRefusal returns it so that findSolver and SolverAUTO never offer jmt.jsim on a model the writer will refuse. It used to be reachable only from inside the writer, which is why the gate could not see it.

      Parameters:
      sn - the model struct
      ist - station index
      Returns:
      empty string when exportable, otherwise the refusal

    • warnHeteroRates

      public void warnHeteroRates(int ind)
      Warns that per-server-type service rates cannot reach the JMT engine.

      JMT keys the ServiceStrategy array of a station by refClass, so its loader (jmt.engine.simEngine.SimLoader) keeps one strategy per class however many (type, class) entries are written, and every pool of a station ends up serving at the class rate. Pool sizes, class compatibilities and the assignment policy do cross; setService(class, type, distribution) rates do not.

      Parameters:
      ind - the node index
