SMAS 2.0b   A Primer

  6. SMAS Internals (Scheduler controls)

A number of global variables control the behavior of the scheduler, in particular its execution mode (step, cycle, run), the information to display, the various time delays.

Assigning Time

In this crude system delays are assigned through global variables or are wired in. The following global variables are of interest: Units are clock cycles.

(defvar *dynamic-exit-delay* 1 "delay for processing the last dynamic call")
(defvar *skill-processing-time* 5 "time to process a given skill")
(defvar *subtask-creation-delay* 1 "time needed to create a subtask")
