EnergySim

Simulation of an energy market with multi-processing and multi-threading by RODHAIN David and LORRAIN Thomas

Structure

• 2 files : 1 client (maison.py) and 1 server (market.py)
• 1 Message Queue between Home processes and the main process of market.py
• 1 Message Queue between Home processes
• Each Home is a process
• Market is multi-threaded : each thread manages a transaction
• Economics, Politics processes produces signals
• Weather process updates the temperature

The simulation is turn-based, it will show the evolution of the energy price for each turn. Home processes make one transaction per turn (Give, Sell, Buy)

How to launch the Sim

• Launch 2 terminals that include sysv_ipc module

• In the first one, launch market.py without arguments

• In the second one, launch maison.py with an argument : the number of houses you want (Integer expected)

• To end properly the simulation, make sure you're in the market terminal and press CTRL + C, it will end properly on the client side automatically
