delayed_release {simmer.bricks}

Delayed Release of a Resource

Description

This brick encapsulates a delayed release: the arrival releases the resource and continues its way immediately, but the resource is busy for an additional period of time.

Usage

delayed_release(
  .trj,
  resource,
  task,
  amount = 1,
  preemptive = FALSE,
  mon_all = FALSE
)

delayed_release_selected(
  .trj,
  task,
  amount = 1,
  preemptive = FALSE,
  mon_all = FALSE
)

Arguments

.trj

the trajectory object.

resource

the name of the resource.

task

the timeout duration supplied by either passing a numeric or a callable object (a function) which must return a numeric (negative values are automatically coerced to positive).

amount

the amount to seize/release, accepts either a numeric or a callable object (a function) which must return a numeric.

preemptive

whether arrivals in the server can be preempted or not based on seize priorities.

mon_all

if TRUE, get_mon_arrivals will show one line per clone.

Value

Returns the following chain of activities: clone > synchronize (see examples below).

Examples

## These are equivalent for a non-preemptive resource:
trajectory() %>%
  delayed_release("res1", 5, 1)

trajectory() %>%
  clone(
    2,
    trajectory() %>%
      set_capacity("res1", -1, mod="+") %>%
      release("res1", 1),
    trajectory() %>%
      timeout(5) %>%
      set_capacity("res1", 1, mod="+")
  ) %>%
  synchronize(wait=FALSE)

## These are equivalent for a preemptive resource:
trajectory() %>%
  delayed_release("res2", 5, 1, preemptive=TRUE)

trajectory() %>%
  clone(
    2,
    trajectory() %>%
      release("res2", 1),
    trajectory() %>%
      set_prioritization(c(rep(.Machine$integer.max, 2), 0)) %>%
      seize("res2", 1) %>%
      timeout(5) %>%
      release("res2", 1)
  ) %>%
  synchronize(wait=FALSE)
