      avrora.sim.SimulatorThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class SimulatorThread

extends java.lang.Thread

The SimulatorThread class is a thread intended to run a Simulator in a multiple-node simulation. The mapping is one-to-one: each simulator is expected to be run in its own thread. Multiple simulators are then synchronized by being inserted into a group using the GlobalClock class.

Field Summary

protected Simulator

simulator The simulator field stores a reference to the simulator that this thread encapsulates.

Fields inherited from class java.lang.Thread

MAX_PRIORITY, MIN_PRIORITY, NORM_PRIORITY

Constructor Summary

SimulatorThread(Simulator s)
The constructor for the simulator thread accepts an instance of Simulator as a parameter and stores it internally.

Method Summary

Simulator	getSimulator() The getSimulator() method gets the Simulator instance that this thread is bound to.
void	run() The run() method begins the simulation, calling the start() method of the Simulator instance associated with this thread.
