<h1>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<div class="section" id="what-is-simso">
<h2>What is SimSo?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-simso" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>SimSo is a scheduling simulator for real-time multiprocessor architectures that takes into account some scheduling overheads (scheduling decisions, context switches) and the impact of caches through statistical models. Based on a Discrete-Event Simulator (SimPy), it allows quick simulations and a fast prototyping of scheduling policies using Python.</p>
<p>SimSo is an open source software, available under the <a class="reference external" href="licenses.html">CeCILL license</a>, a GPL compatible license.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="download">
<h2>Download<a class="headerlink" href="#download" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You can find the last version of SimSo on the <a class="reference external" href="http://homepages.laas.fr/mcheramy/simso/">SimSo Website</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installation">
<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>SimSo is available for the main platforms and so is its source code. The archive containing the source code is more often updated and should be used when possible.</p>
<p>In order to install SimSo from the souce code, the dependences must be installed first. Then, type &#8220;python setup.py install&#8221; to install SimSo.</p>
<div class="section" id="dependencies">
<h3>Dependencies<a class="headerlink" href="#dependencies" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>When using SimSo from the sources, the following softwares and librairies are required:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li>Python 2.7+</li>
<li>SimPy 2.3.1 (not compatible with SimPy 3)</li>
<li>NumPy 1.6+</li>
<li>PyQt4 4.9+</li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>If you are using a binary, everything should be packed in the binary.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="first-step">
<h2>First step<a class="headerlink" href="#first-step" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>SimSo is provided with a graphical user interface that aims to be very easy to use. This is a good way to develop and test a scheduler. See <a class="reference external" href="write_scheduler.html">How to write a scheduling policy</a>.</p>
<p>It is also possible to use SimSo as a library. This allows in particular to run simulations in text mode with a maximum of flexibility.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="available-schedulers">
<h2>Available Schedulers<a class="headerlink" href="#available-schedulers" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
