It models a server that takes a and provides b having state s.

Create a new server that can provide output b by input a.

By default, it is assumed that the server process cannot be preempted, because the handling of possible task preemption is rather costly operation.

Create a new server that can provide output b by input a starting from state s.

By default, it is assumed that the server process cannot be preempted, because the handling of possible task preemption is rather costly operation.

Create a new preemptible server that can provide output b by input a.

Create a new preemptible server that can provide output b by input a starting from state s.

Return a processor for the specified server.

The processor updates the internal state of the server. The usual case is when the processor is applied only once in a chain of data processing. Otherwise; every time the processor is used, the state of the server changes. Sometimes it can be indeed useful if you want to aggregate the statistics for different servers simultaneously, but it would be more preferable to avoid this.

If you connect different server processors returned by this function in a chain with help of >>> or other category combinator then this chain will act as one whole, where the first server will take a new task only after the last server finishes its current task and requests for the next one from the previous processor in the chain. This is not always that thing you might need.

To model a sequence of the server processors working independently, you should use the processorSeq function which separates the processors with help of the prefetchProcessor that plays a role of a small one-place buffer in that case.

The queue processors usually have the prefetching capabilities per se, where the items are already stored in the queue. Therefore, the server processor should not be prefetched if it is connected directly to the queue processor.

The initial state of the server.

Return the current state of the server.

Return the counted total time when the server was locked while awaiting the input.

The value returned changes discretely and it is usually delayed relative to the current simulation time.

Return the counted total time spent by the server while processing the tasks.

The value returned changes discretely and it is usually delayed relative to the current simulation time.

It returns the factor changing from 0 to 1, which estimates how often the server was awaiting for the next input task.

This factor is calculated as

  totalInputWaitTime / (totalInputWaitTime + totalProcessingTime + totalOutputWaitTime + totalPreemptionTime)

As before in this module, the value returned changes discretely and it is usually delayed relative to the current simulation time.

See also serverInputWaitFactorChanged and serverInputWaitFactorChanged_.

It returns the factor changing from 0 to 1, which estimates how often the server was busy with direct processing its tasks.

This factor is calculated as

  totalProcessingTime / (totalInputWaitTime + totalProcessingTime + totalOutputWaitTime + totalPreemptionTime)

As before in this module, the value returned changes discretely and it is usually delayed relative to the current simulation time.

See also serverProcessingFactorChanged and serverProcessingFactorChanged_.

It returns the factor changing from 0 to 1, which estimates how often the server was locked trying to deliver the output after the task is finished.

This factor is calculated as

  totalOutputWaitTime / (totalInputWaitTime + totalProcessingTime + totalOutputWaitTime + totalPreemptionTime)

As before in this module, the value returned changes discretely and it is usually delayed relative to the current simulation time.
