cBot instances vs duplicated cBots
cBot instances vs duplicated cBots
01 Feb 2022, 00:48
Hello,
I was thinking of creating several copies of a cBot, so that I can split multiple cBot instances among these copies (for management purposes only). However, I would like to know if this would be feasible and equivalent to a single cBot in terms of performance, outcome, etc.
Below is an example with only 2 cBot copies (case 2), however more would be needed in my case:
++++++
Case 1 :
cBot 1 (5 instances running):
- Instances: A, B, C, D, E
++++++
Case 2 (alternative) :
cBot 1 copy (exact same source code)
- Instances: A, B
CBot 1 copy (exact same source code)
- Instances: C, D, E
++++++
Is there any limitation or something I should be aware of, if I follow case 2, since my intention is to have the exact same results as in case 1?
Should I assign a different RobotName to the class (shown below) for each cBot copy, maybe? Is this relevant in such a case?
public class RobotName : Robot
Thank you!

Hi,
Copying a cBot doesn't give you any benefit at all, each running instance of a cBot runs fully separated from all other cBots running instances.
Hi amusleh,
Thanks for your reply.
The benefit was to have the instances separated in groups, where each group is a cBot copy.
What would be the main issue here? Performance?
Is the strategy outcome/behaviour expected to be the same for both these cases?
Thank you!

Hi,
If you want to duplicate a cBot for grouping then yes you can and it will not have any effect on it's performance.

amusleh,
That's the only purpose in fact.
Should I provide different names to the main class ( public class cBot_copy_n : Robot) for each cBot copy or, is this not relevant?
Thank you!

Hi,
It doesn't makes any difference if you use same class name or different class names.
