Twisk

Twisk is a queue simulation tool that allows users to design and test their own workflows. Built using Java for the GUI (JavaFX), it leverages C for client simulation through multithreading and connects the two via JNI.

Features

• Design custom workflows with "Activities" and "Counters."
• Configure entry/exit points for clients in the simulation.
• Choose between Uniform, Gaussian, and Exponential distributions for client arrival rates.
• Save and load simulation worlds as .json files.
• Import pre-made worlds and modify them.
• Real-time client simulation powered by multithreading in C.

How it Works

Twisk operates as a hybrid system:

• Java: Provides the graphical interface and handles the main application logic.
• C: Manages the client simulation using multithreading for efficient performance.
• JNI: Bridges Java and C, enabling seamless integration of the two languages.

This architecture allows Twisk to simulate fifty of clients in real-time while offering a user-friendly design interface.
