mosaik.scenario
— Classes related to the scenario creation¶
This module provides the interface for users to create simulation scenarios for mosaik.
The World
holds all necessary data for the simulation and allows the
user to start simulators. It provides a ModelFactory
(and
a ModelMock
) via which the user can instantiate model instances
(entities). The method World.run()
finally starts the simulation.
- class mosaik.scenario.World(sim_config: SimConfig, mosaik_config=None, time_resolution: float = 1.0, debug: bool = False, cache: bool = True, max_loop_iterations: int = 100, asyncio_loop: Optional[asyncio.AbstractEventLoop] = None)¶
The world holds all data required to specify and run the scenario.
It provides a method to start a simulator process (
start()
) and manages the simulator instances.You have to provide a sim_config which tells the world which simulators are available and how to start them. See
mosaik.simmanager.start()
for more details.mosaik_config can be a dict or list of key-value pairs to set addional parameters overriding the defaults:
{ 'addr': ('127.0.0.1', 5555), 'start_timeout': 2, # seconds 'stop_timeout': 2, # seconds }
Here, addr is the network address that mosaik will bind its socket to. start_timeout and stop_timeout specifiy a timeout (in seconds) for starting/stopping external simulator processes.
If execution_graph is set to
True
, an execution graph will be created during the simulation. This may be useful for debugging and testing. Note, that this increases the memory consumption and simulation time.- sim_config¶
The config dictionary that tells mosaik how to start a simulator.
- config¶
The config dictionary for general mosaik settings.
- time_resolution¶
An optional global time_resolution (in seconds) for the scenario, which tells the simulators what the integer time step means in seconds. Its default value is 1., meaning one integer step corresponds to one second simulated time.
- sims: Dict[SimId, simmanager.SimRunner]¶
A dictionary of already started simulators instances.
- df_graph¶
The directed data-flow
graph
for this scenario.
- trigger_graph¶
The directed
graph
from all triggering connections for this scenario.
- entity_graph¶
The
graph
of related entities. Nodes are(sid, eid)
tuples. Each note has an attribute entity with anEntity
.
- start(sim_name: str, **sim_params) → mosaik.scenario.ModelFactory¶
Start the simulator named sim_name and return a
ModelFactory
for it.
- connect(src: Entity, dest: Entity, *attr_pairs: Union[str, Tuple[str, str]], async_requests: bool = False, time_shifted: bool = False, initial_data: Dict[Attr, Any] = {}, weak: bool = False)¶
Connect the src entity to dest entity.
Establish a data-flow for each
(src_attr, dest_attr)
tuple in attr_pairs. If src_attr and dest_attr have the same name, you you can optionally only pass one of them as a single string.Raise a
ScenarioError
if both entities share the same simulator instance, if at least one (src. or dest.) attribute in attr_pairs does not exist, or if the connection would introduce a cycle in the data-flow (e.g., A → B → C → A).If the dest simulator may make asynchronous requests to mosaik to query data from src (or set data to it), async_requests should be set to
True
so that the src simulator stays in sync with dest.An alternative to asynchronous requests are time-shifted connections. Their data flow is always resolved after normal connections so that cycles in the data-flow can be realized without introducing deadlocks. For such a connection time_shifted should be set to
True
and initial_data should contain a dict with input data for the first simulation step of the receiving simulator.An alternative to using async_requests to realize cyclic data-flow is given by the time_shifted kwarg. If set to
True
it marks the connection as cycle-closing (e.g. C → A). It must always be used with initial_data specifying a dict with the data sent to the destination simulator at the first step (e.g. {‘src_attr’: value}).
- set_initial_event(sid: SimId, time: int = 0)¶
Set an initial step for simulator sid at time time (default=0).
- get_data(entity_set: Iterable[Entity], *attributes: Attr) → Dict[Entity, Dict[Attr, Any]]¶
Get and return the values of all attributes for each entity of an entity_set.
The return value is a dict mapping the entities of entity_set to dicts containing the values of each attribute in attributes:
{ Entity(...): { 'attr_1': 'val_1', 'attr_2': 'val_2', ... }, ... }
- run(until: int, rt_factor: Optional[float] = None, rt_strict: bool = False, print_progress: Union[bool, typing_extensions.Literal[individual]] = True, lazy_stepping: bool = True)¶
Start the simulation until the simulation time until is reached.
In order to perform real-time simulations, you can set rt_factor to a number > 0. A rt-factor of 1. means that 1 second in simulated time takes 1 second in real-time. An rt-factor 0f 0.5 will let the simulation run twice as fast as real-time. For correct behavior of the rt_factor the time_resolution of the scenario has to be set adequately, which is 1. [second] by default.
If the simulators are too slow for the rt-factor you chose, mosaik prints by default only a warning. In order to raise a
RuntimeError
, you can set rt_strict toTrue
.print_progress
controls whether progress bars are printed while the simulation is running. The default is to print one bar representing the global progress of the simulation. You can also setprint_progress='individual'
to get one bar per simulator in your simulation (in addition to the global one). ``print_progress=False` turns off the progress bars completely. The progress bars use tqdm; see their documentation on how to write to the console without interfering with the bars.You can also set the lazy_stepping flag (default:
True
). IfTrue
a simulator can only run ahead one step of it’s successors. IfFalse
a simulator always steps as long all input is provided. This might decrease the simulation time but increase the memory consumption.Before this method returns, it stops all simulators and closes mosaik’s server socket. So this method should only be called once.
- detect_unresolved_cycles()¶
Searches for unresolved cycles, i.e. cycles that do not have a weak or time_shifted connection or have more than one weak connection. Raises an error if an unresolved cycle is found.
- cache_trigger_cycles()¶
For all simulators, if they are part of a cycle, add information about trggers in the cycle(s) to the simulator object
- cache_dependencies()¶
Loops through all simulations and adds predecessors and successors to the simulations.
Stores the related simulators for a simulator in the simulator object. The related simulators are all simulators in the scenario that are not the simulator itself.
- cache_triggering_ancestors()¶
Collects the ancestors of each simulator and stores them in the respective simulator object.
- create_simulator_ranking()¶
Deduce a simulator ranking from a topological sort of the df_graph.
- shutdown()¶
Shut-down all simulators and close the server socket.
- class mosaik.scenario.ModelFactory(world: mosaik.scenario.World, sim: mosaik.simmanager.SimRunner)¶
This is a facade for a simulator sim that allows the user to create new model instances (entities) within that simulator.
For every model that a simulator publicly exposes, the
ModelFactory
provides aModelMock
attribute that actually creates the entities.If you access an attribute that is not a model or if the model is not marked as public, an
ScenarioError
is raised.
- class mosaik.scenario.ModelMock(world: mosaik.scenario.World, name: str, sim: mosaik.simmanager.SimRunner)¶
Instances of this class are exposed as attributes of
ModelFactory
and allow the instantiation of simulator models.You can call an instance of this class to create exactly one entity:
sim.ModelName(x=23)
. Alternatively, you can use thecreate()
method to create multiple entities with the same set of parameters at once:sim.ModelName.create(3, x=23)
.- create(num: int, **model_params)¶
Create num entities with the specified model_params and return a list with the entity dicts.
The returned list of entities is the same as returned by
mosaik_api.Simulator.create()
, but the simulator is prepended to every entity ID to make them globally unique.
- class mosaik.scenario.Entity(sid, eid, sim_name, type, children, sim)¶
An entity represents an instance of a simulation model within mosaik.
- sid¶
The ID of the simulator this entity belongs to.
- eid¶
The entity’s ID.
- sim_name¶
The entity’s simulator name.
- type¶
The entity’s type (or class).
- children¶
An entity set containing subordinate entities.
- sim¶
The
SimProxy
containing the entity.
- property full_id: FullId¶
Full, globally unique entity id
sid.eid
.
