SOLUTION FOR ASSIGNMENT #6 Spring 1999 -------------------------- The table below compares SMPL (as3_4sol.c) and CSIM (as3_6sol.c) runs for a really long sim_time of 5.0e6 seconds. Balance Type SMPL CSIM +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | LoadSplit | 0.550 sec | 0.551 sec | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | TurnTaker | 0.315 | 0.315 | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ | ShortQ | 0.320 | 0.321 | +--------------+-----------+-----------+ It can been seen that both the SMPL and CSIM models give the same results, as should be expected. The execution time on the models is 12.57 sec for the SMPL model and 35.92 sec for the CSIM model. For this small model it appears that the event-based, versus a process-based, approach is more efficient. This demonstrates a trade-off between modeling efficiency and execution efficiency. ---
