Typedef Documentation

typedef double ssim::Time

virtual time type

This type represents the basic time in the virtual (simulated) world. Being defined as an integer type, virtual time is a discrete quantity. The actual semantics of the time unit is determined by the simulated application. In other words, a time interval of 1 may be interpreted as one second, one year, or any other time interval, depending on the semantics of the simulated application.
