Once the internal state has been drained from * all objects in the system, the objects are serialized to * disc or the configuration change takes place. The process works as * follows (see simulate.py for details): * *
    *
  1. An instance of a DrainManager is created to keep track of how * many objects need to be drained. The object maintains an * internal counter that is decreased every time its * CountedDrainEvent::signalDrainDone() method is called. When the * counter reaches zero, the simulation is stopped. * *
  2. Call Drainable::drain() for every object in the * system. Draining has completed if all of them return * zero. Otherwise, the sum of the return values is loaded into * the counter of the DrainManager. A pointer to the drain * manager is passed as an argument to the drain() method. * *
  3. Continue simulation. When an object has finished draining its * internal state, it calls CountedDrainEvent::signalDrainDone() * on the manager. When the counter in the manager reaches zero, * the simulation stops. * *
  4. Check if any object still needs draining, if so repeat the * process above. * *
  5. Serialize objects, switch CPU model, or change timing model. * *
  6. Call Drainable::drainResume() and continue the simulation. *
