Abstract
Techniques for performing environmentally-trained time dilation are provided. According to certain embodiments, a computer system can determine an initial set of parameter values for implementing one or more time dilation algorithms with respect to a program, where the algorithms cause the program to observe a dilated view of time relative to real time, and where the initial set of parameter values is determined via one or more functions that take into account a current runtime environment of the system. The system can apply the initial set of parameter values to the time dilation algorithms. At a later point in time, the system can detect an event that causes a change in the current runtime environment. Upon detecting the event, the system can determine, via the functions, a new set of parameter values responsive to the change and apply the new set of parameter values to the time dilation algorithms.
