Native Cimba Concepts

Cimba Python is a binding layer over the Cimba C library. The native engine owns the event queue, process switching, resources, random number generation, and statistics objects.

What the Python layer adds

The binding layer adds:

• Python classes around native Cimba objects

• Python process callbacks

• Python objects in object queues and priority queues

• context-managed simulation ownership

• type stubs for editor support

• a wheel build that embeds the native library

What the C docs explain best

Read the Cimba C background for:

• why Cimba uses stackful coroutines

• how the dispatcher and simulated time interact

• how process-oriented modeling relates to Simula-style coroutines

• why replications are the natural parallelization boundary
