31/**
32 * @file This file defines the Root simobject and the methods used to control
33 * the time syncing mechanism provided through it.
34 *
35 * Time syncing prevents simulated time from passing faster than real time. It
36 * works by scheduling a periodic event that checks to see if its simulated
37 * period is shorter than its real period. If it is, it stalls the simulation
38 * until they're equal.
