"""Bridge for SimObjects from different threads (EventQueues)
|
|
|
|
When two SimObjects running on two separate threads (EventQueues), an
|
|
access from one side to the other side could easily cause event scheduled
|
|
on the wrong event queue.
|
|
|
|
ThreadBridge is used to migrate the EventQueue to the one used by
|
|
ThreadBridge itself before sending transation to the other side to avoid
|
|
the issue. The receiver side is expected to use the same EventQueue that
|
|
the ThreadBridge is using.
|
|
|
|
Given that this is only used for simulation speed accelerating, only the
|
|
atomic and functional access are supported.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
sys.initator = Initiator(eventq_index=0)
|
|
sys.target = Target(eventq_index=1)
|
|
sys.bridge = ThreadBridge(eventq_index=1)
|
|
|
|
sys.initator.out_port = sys.bridge.in_port
|
|
sys.bridge.out_port = sys.target.in_port
