Abstract

nancy-playground is an open-source, cross-platform command-line tool for Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC) computations. It implements the MPPG scripting syntax used by RTaW’s min-plus playground https://www.realtimeatwork.com/minplus-playground, executing computations via the Nancy [Raffaele Zippo and Giovanni Stea, 2022] and Nancy.Expressions [Trasacco et al., 2024] libraries and their state-of-the-art algorithmic optimizations. It also supports converting MPPG scripts to C# code and an interactive console mode. This artifact provides the source code of nancy-playground (version 1.0.8), example scripts corresponding to the listings of the companion paper, and scripts to reproduce the test and coverage results (Table 7) and the performance measurements (Table 6) of [Raffaele Zippo and Giovanni Stea, 2026].
