Welcome to the CPUSS project. CPUSS is a framework designed to help with the design and analysis of CPU scheduling strategies.
Installation:Release history:
Each release of CPUSS contains two release run time binaries:
Note: if you are only wanting to use the simulation framework and not the strategies that ship with CPUSS then you need only reference Cpuss.dll.
Note: the steps outlined here refer not only to building the source code of a release, but also the source code of any change set.
The source code for the CPUSS project contains of a Visual Studio 2008 solution, which in turn contains four C# projects:
When you open the solution you will be prompted for the password to the strong key, the password is !Cpuss86 (change sets 6502 onwards).
Now follow the steps below:
Note: if you encounter problems with either of the steps please inform me via the projects homepage.
Setting up the database for CPUSS is easy, simply locate the Setup.sql file located in the SQL folder and execute the script. This will create a database called Cpuss with the required tables.
