[Repast-developer] Question on New Scheduler

[Laszlo G. <gu...@la...>]

Hi Everybody and Happy New Year to All, 

I seem to be lagging back on all the issues here, and I am
sorry for that. 

My question here is about the new scheduling mechanism
in the works that has been announced some weeks ago. I
have to tell, it sounds terrific in general. What I am
worried about, however, is replicability of the simulation results,
when using multi-threaded scheduling. As far as I know,
but I might be wrong of course, the exact scheduling of
threads in Java is undeterministic (at least, accross
JVMs). Am I right on this? If yes, can we still somehow
guarantee that the simulation results will be reproducible? 

Well, that's it. Thanks for the answers in advance, and
I am sorry if this what I wrote makes no sense. 

Gulya
