Merging and Splitting Stream

emptyStream :: Stream a

mergeStreams :: Stream a -> Stream a -> Stream a

Merge two streams applying the FCFS strategy for enqueuing the input data.

Arguments

:: EnqueueStrategy s

the strategy applied for enqueuing the input data

-> Stream a

the fist input stream

the second input stream

If you don't know what the strategy to apply, then you probably need the FCFS strategy, or function mergeStreams that does namely this.

concatStreams :: [Stream a] -> Stream a

concatQueuedStreams

Arguments

:: EnqueueStrategy s

=> s

the strategy applied for enqueuing the input data

-> [Stream a]

the input stream

-> Stream a

the combined output stream

Concatenate the input streams producing one output stream.

If you don't know what the strategy to apply, then you probably need the FCFS strategy, or function concatStreams that does namely this.

concatPriorityStreams

Arguments

:: PriorityQueueStrategy s p

=> s

the strategy applied for enqueuing the input data

-> [Stream (p, a)]

the input stream

-> Stream a

the combined output stream

Concatenate the input priority streams producing one output stream.

splitStream :: Int -> Stream a -> Simulation [Stream a]

-> Int

the number of output streams

-> Stream a

the input stream

-> Simulation [Stream a]

the splitted output streams

Split the input stream into the specified number of output streams.

If you don't know what the strategy to apply, then you probably need the FCFS strategy, or function splitStream that does namely this.

splitStreamPrioritising

Arguments

:: PriorityQueueStrategy s p

=> s

the strategy applied for enqueuing the output requests

-> [Stream p]

the streams of priorities

-> Stream a

the input stream

-> Simulation [Stream a]

the splitted output streams

Split the input stream into a list of output streams using the specified priorities.

Specifying Identifier

streamUsingId :: ProcessId -> Stream a -> Stream a

Create a stream that will use the specified process identifier. It can be useful to refer to the underlying Process computation which can be passivated, interrupted, canceled and so on. See also the processUsingId function for more details.

Prefetching and Delaying Stream

prefetchStream :: Stream a -> Stream a

Prefetch the input stream requesting for one more data item in advance while the last received item is not yet fully processed in the chain of streams, usually by the processors.

You can think of this as the prefetched stream could place its latest data item in some temporary space for later use, which is very useful for modeling a sequence of separate and independent work places.

delayStream :: a -> Stream a -> Stream a

Delay the stream by one step using the specified initial value.

Stream Arriving

arrivalStream :: Stream a -> Stream (Arrival a)

Transform a stream so that the resulting stream returns a sequence of arrivals saving the information about the time points at which the original stream items were received by demand.

Memoizing, Zipping and Uzipping Stream

memoStream :: Stream a -> Simulation (Stream a)

Memoize the stream so that it would always return the same data within the simulation run.

zipStreamSeq :: Stream a -> Stream b -> Stream (a, b)

Zip two streams trying to get data sequentially.

zipStreamParallel :: Stream a -> Stream b -> Stream (a, b)

Zip two streams trying to get data as soon as possible, launching the sub-processes in parallel.

zip3StreamSeq :: Stream a -> Stream b -> Stream c -> Stream (a, b, c)

Zip three streams trying to get data sequentially.

zip3StreamParallel :: Stream a -> Stream b -> Stream c -> Stream (a, b, c)

Zip three streams trying to get data as soon as possible, launching the sub-processes in parallel.

unzipStream :: Stream (a, b) -> Simulation (Stream a, Stream b)

Unzip the stream.

streamSeq :: [Stream a] -> Stream [a]

To form each new portion of data for the output stream, read data sequentially from the input streams.

This is a generalization of zipStreamSeq.

streamParallel :: [Stream a] -> Stream [a]

To form each new portion of data for the output stream, read data from the input streams in parallel.

This is a generalization of zipStreamParallel.

Consuming and Sinking Stream

consumeStream :: (a -> Process ()) -> Stream a -> Process ()

Consume the stream. It returns a process that infinitely reads data from the stream and then redirects them to the provided function. It is useful for modeling the process of enqueueing data in the queue from the input stream.

sinkStream :: Stream a -> Process ()

Sink the stream. It returns a process that infinitely reads data from the stream. The resulting computation can be a moving force to simulate the whole system of the interconnected streams and processors.

Useful Combinators

repeatProcess :: Process a -> Stream a

Return a stream of values generated by the specified process.

mapStream :: (a -> b) -> Stream a -> Stream b

Map the stream according the specified function.

mapStreamM :: (a -> Process b) -> Stream a -> Stream b

Compose the stream.

apStream :: Stream (a -> b) -> Stream a -> Stream b

Sequential application.

apStreamM :: Stream (a -> Process b) -> Stream a -> Stream b

Sequential application.

filterStream :: (a -> Bool) -> Stream a -> Stream a

Filter only those data values that satisfy to the specified predicate.

filterStreamM :: (a -> Process Bool) -> Stream a -> Stream a

Filter only those data values that satisfy to the specified predicate.

Integrating with Signals

signalStream :: Signal a -> Process (Stream a)

Return a stream of values triggered by the specified signal.

Since the time at which the values of the stream are requested for may differ from the time at which the signal is triggered, it can be useful to apply the arrivalSignal function to add the information about the time points at which the signal was actually received.

The point is that the Stream is requested outside, while the Signal is triggered inside. They are different by nature. The former is passive, while the latter is active.

The resulting stream may be a root of space leak as it uses an internal queue to store the values received from the signal. The oldest value is dequeued each time we request the stream and it is returned within the computation.

Cancel the stream's process to unsubscribe from the specified signal.

streamSignal :: Stream a -> Process (Signal a)

Return a computation of the signal that triggers values from the specified stream, each time the next value of the stream is received within the underlying Process computation.

Cancel the returned process to stop reading from the specified stream.
