4 | * This interface describes the set of methods an event-list carrying the |
5 | * scheduled events and entities in a temporal order has to implement. This is a |
6 | * part of the framework that does not have to be implemented by the user in |
7 | * order to get a simulation running, since the scheduler already uses the class |
8 | * EventVector as default EventList construction. Since each step in the |
9 | * discrete simulation requires searching and manipulating the event-list, this |
10 | * is probably one of the best places in the framework to optimize execution |
11 | * performance. Especially if special models show specific behaviour i.e. |
12 | * primarily inserting new events at the very end of the event-list, other |
13 | * implementations of the event-list might support faster access times. |
