Scheduler.handle_delayed_event

handle_delayed_event(event, dt)

This method checks to see whether the event is a DelayedEvent.

If not, it simply returns the event.

If yes, it counts down the delay by one timestep (dt), caches the event in delayed_events and returns None.

• Parameters

  • event – Event. The event to check

  • dt – Integer the timestep to count down.

Returns

The event if this is not a DelayedEvent or the delay<=0 , otherwise None

Scheduler.run

run(model, progress_widget=None, collect_data=True)

Run the simulation. Override this in a subclass.

• Parameters

  • model – Model instance.

  • progress_widget – Object (Default=None). Any object with a value attribute, which the scheduler sets from 0.0 to 1.0 as the run advances - BPTK_Py.util.ProgressBar renders it with tqdm.

Scheduler.run_step

run_step(model, sim_round, dt, progress_widget=None, collect_data=True)

Run a simulation step.

Override this in a subclass.

• Parameters

  • model – Model Model instance

  • sim_round – Integer round of simulator

  • dt – Integer. Current step of round

  • progress_widget – Object (Default=None). Any object with a value attribute, which the scheduler sets from 0.0 to 1.0 as the run advances - BPTK_Py.util.ProgressBar renders it with tqdm.

  • collect_data – Boolean. Flag that indicates whether to collect data.
