549 At least, after 2 years of hard work, we managed to release the 3.3
550 version of the SimGrid framework. There is so many changes that the
551 changelog only lists the most important ones, leaving alone the small
552 improvements, bug fixing and new gadgets.
556 * New simulation models, and improvement of the GTNetS wrapper
558 * Large memory savings (mainly in parser)
559 * Faster (twice faster is not uncommon, and from 20 hours to 2
560 minutes on very large scenarios)
561 * Much better scalability (tested up to 250,000 processes)
563 * Complete regression testing framework so that you can trust the tool
564 * Lot of neat new modules in the XBT toolbox
566 This version was thoroughly tested on linux 32bits and 64bits
567 (debian), as well as Mac OSX (leopard).
569 Unfortunately, our windows-guy left, and we cannot release the windows
570 version at the same time than the other archs. Any help would be
571 really welcomed here.
573 Some of the 96 included test suites are known to fail, but everything
574 should work anyway (don't panic):
575 * The amok module does not work in real deployment ATM, but I don't
576 see this as release critical since I'm not aware of anyone needing
578 * Some tests about the ability of GRAS to receive messages from
579 exotic platforms fail because I've lost access to these platforms
581 * the example/gras/pmm sometimes fails (about 1/10 of cases). I'm
582 quite puzzled, but I suspect a bug in the test, not in the lib.
583 * the tesh auto-tests "fail" on Mac OSX. This is because "rm -rf" is
584 sometimes too verbose (when the OS creates hidden files, I
585 suspect), but tesh definitely work as the rest on this arch.
587 We hope to manage to do more timely releases in the future, even if
588 that may turn out difficult since big stuff is coming (I don't say
589 much here for the suspense ;)
591 We hope you'll enjoy this new version, and please report any feedback
592 on the <simgrid-user@lists.gforge.inria.fr> list.
