Architecture

To use actor model: Import the repo in your project and use it as done in actor_system_test.go

sample code

func TestIOSimulationSystem(t *testing.T) {
	ioSimSystem := CreateActorSystem("io_sim", &actor.Config{
		MinActor: 10,
		MaxActor: 100,
		AutoScale: actor.AutoScale{
			UpscaleQueueSize:   100,
			DownscaleQueueSize: 10,
		},
	})

	for i := 0; i < 1000; i += 1 {
		ioSimSystem.SubmitTask(CreateNumberPrinterTask(i))
		<-time.After(2 * time.Millisecond)
	}
	shutdown([]*ActorSystem{ioSimSystem})

}
