Member Function Documentation

void Starter::initialize (  void    )

The simulator does not allow the usage of RoBIOS functions in class constructors. Therefore we use public initialize methods for classes that need RoBIOS functions for their initializations.

void Starter::startClustering (    )

Starts the clustering. The threads that form the clustering algorithm are set to ready for execution See also: Thread::ready()

void Starter::stopClustering (    )

Stops the clustering. All threads that form the clustering algorithm are suspended. Program quits See also: Thread::suspend()
