getconsumption

getconsumption


Purpose
Gets the cpvar representing the consumption of a task for a particular resource.
A task consumes some amount of processing power of a resource when this amount must be made available for the execution of the task. The resource requirement is considered as renewable which means that whenever the task ends the processing power that was used is no longer available for processing other tasks.
Synopsis
function getconsumption(task:cptask, resource:cpresource) : cpvar
function getconsumption(task:cptask, resource:cpresource, p:integer) : integer
Arguments
task 
the task
resource 
the resource
the timestep
Return value
The cpvar representing the consumption of 'resource' by 'task'
Example
The following example illustrates this:

model "Producer Consumer"
 uses "kalis"

 declarations
  Masonry, Carpentry, Roofing, Windows, Facade, Garden, Plumbing,
    Ceiling, Painting, MovingIn : cptask    ! Declaration of tasks
  money_available : cpresource              ! Resource declaration
 end-declarations

! 'money_available' is a cumulative resource with max. amount of 29$
 set_resource_attributes(money_available,KALIS_DISCRETE_RESOURCE,29)

! Limit resource availability to 20$ in the time interval [0,14]
 setcapacity(money_available, 0, 14, 20)

! Setting the task durations and predecessor sets
 set_task_attributes(Masonry  , 7 )
 set_task_attributes(Carpentry, 3, {Masonry} )
 set_task_attributes(Roofing  , 1, {Carpentry} )
 set_task_attributes(Windows  , 1, {Roofing} )
 set_task_attributes(Facade   , 2, {Roofing} )
 set_task_attributes(Garden   , 1, {Roofing} )
 set_task_attributes(Plumbing , 8, {Masonry} )
 set_task_attributes(Ceiling  , 3, {Masonry} )
 set_task_attributes(Painting , 2, {Ceiling} )
 set_task_attributes(MovingIn , 1, {Windows,Facade,Garden,Painting})

! Setting the resource consumptions
 consumes(Masonry  , 7, money_available )
 consumes(Carpentry, 3, money_available )
 consumes(Roofing  , 1, money_available )
 consumes(Windows  , 1, money_available )
 consumes(Facade   , 2, money_available )
 consumes(Garden   , 1, money_available )
 consumes(Plumbing , 8, money_available )
 consumes(Ceiling  , 3, money_available )
 consumes(Painting , 2, money_available )
 consumes(MovingIn , 1, money_available )

! Find the optimal schedule (minimizing the makespan)
 if cp_minimize(getmakespan) then	
   cp_show_sol

   writeln("No solution found")
