Nancy: An efficient parallel Network Calculus library

This paper describes Nancy, a Network Calculus (NC) library that allows users to perform complex min-plus and max-plus algebra operations efficiently. To the best of our knowledge, Nancy is only open-source implements working on arbitrary piecewise affine functions, as well implement some them (e.g. sub-additive closure function composition). researchers compute NC results using straightforward syntax, which matches algebraic one. Moreover, it designed having computational efficiency in mind: exploits optimizations data structures, uses inheritance allow for faster algorithms when they are available (e.g., specific subclasses functions), natively parallel, thus reaping benefit multicore hardware. makes usable solve problems were previously considered beyond realm tractable.
