The 4.2.1 release of simmer, the Discrete-Event Simulator for R, is on CRAN with quite interesting new features and fixes. As discussed in the mailing list, there is a way to handle the specific case in which an arrival is rejected because a queue is full: library(simmer) reject % log_("kicked off...") patient
The 4.1.0 release of simmer, the Discrete-Event Simulator for R, is on CRAN. As per request in the mailing list, now get_global() is able to work inside a generator function. Moreover, the new add_global() method attaches a global attribute to a simulator. library(simmer) env % set_global("interarrival", 1, mod="+") generator
The 4.0.1 release of simmer, the Discrete-Event Simulator for R, is on CRAN since a couple of weeks ago. There are few changes, notably new getters (get_sources(), get_resources(), get_trajectory()) for simmer environments and some improvements in resource selection policies (see details in help(select)). A new convenience function, when_activated, makes it easier to generate arrivals on demand, triggered from trajectories. Let us consider,… Continuar leyendo simmer 4.0.1...

The latest R tip in Win-Vector Blog encourages you to Use Radix Sort based on a simple benchmark showing a x35 speedup compared to the default method, but with no further explanation. In my opinion, though, the complete tip would be, instead, use radix sort… if you know what you are doing, because a quick benchmark shouldn’t spare you the effort of actually reading the… Continuar leyendo Read the...
If you are a user who needs to work with Rcpp-based packages, or you are a maintainer of one of such packages, you may be interested in the recent development of the unwind API, which can be leveraged to boost performance since the last Rcpp update. In a nutshell, until R 3.5.0, every R call from C++ code was… Continuar leyendo Boost the...
The 4.0.0 release of simmer, the Discrete-Event Simulator for R, is on CRAN under a new license: we decided to switch to GPL __= 2. Most notably in this major release, the C++ core has been refactorised and exposed under inst/include. This is not a big deal for most users, but it enables extensions. As an example… Continuar leyendo simmer 4.0.0...

The 3.8.0 release of simmer, the Discrete-Event Simulator for R, hit CRAN almost a week ago, and Windows binaries are already available. This version includes two highly requested new features that justify this second consecutive minor release.
