Folders/Directories Navigation: legacy: Contains code and ZIP files of ways we tried to implement the simulator but ended up not being used. Rather than deleting them, they were moved to this folder

report: Contains the final report of this project. This also contains a subfolder called 
        average_times which contains the raw data for the average graph in the report

schedulers: Contains the implementation of the schedulers

static: Where the graphs are saved as PNG files. Python Flask requires a folder called static
        for handling static files (JS, CSS etc.) and this also includes images

templates: The HTML files are kept here. They are rendered through the Jinja templating engine
           when running the web application

Data Processing: When the simulation is done, there will be CSV files containing the raw data of the results for each of the schedulers. The script, procPlot.py, in the utils folder tackles the data processing and graph generation. The main() function in this script is called by both the web application and command line. The graphs are created as PNG files.
