/** An actor is an independent stream of execution in your distributed application.
 *
 * \beginrst
 * It is located on a (simulated) :cpp:class:`host <simgrid::s4u::Host>`, but can interact
 * with the whole simulated platform.
 *
 * You can think of an actor as a process in your distributed application, or as a thread in a multithreaded program.
 * This is the only component in SimGrid that actually does something on its own, executing its own code.
 * A resource will not get used if you don't schedule activities on them. This is the code of Actors that create and
 * schedule these activities. **Please refer to the** :ref:`examples <s4u_ex_actors>` **for more information.**
 *
 * This API is strongly inspired from the C++11 threads.
 * The `documentation of this standard <http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread>`_
 * may help to understand the philosophy of the SimGrid actors.

 *
 * Parallel executions convenient abstractions of parallel computational kernels that span over several machines,
 * such as a PDGEM and the other ScaLAPACK routines. If you are interested in the effects of such parallel kernel
 * on the platform (e.g. to schedule them wisely), there is no need to model them in all details of their internal
 * execution and communications. It is much more convenient to model them as a single execution activity that spans
 * over several hosts. This is exactly what s4u's Parallel Executions are.
 *
 * To build such an object, you need to provide a list of hosts that are involved in the parallel kernel (the
 * actor's own host may or may not be in this list) and specify the amount of computations that should be done by
 * each host, using a vector of flops amount. Then, you should specify the amount of data exchanged between each
 * hosts during the parallel kernel. For that, a matrix of values is expected.
 *
 * It is OK to build a parallel execution without any computation and/or without any communication.
 * Just pass an empty vector to the corresponding parameter.
 *
 * For example, if your list of hosts is ``[host0, host1]``, passing a vector ``[1000, 2000]`` as a `flops_amount`
 * vector means that `host0` should compute 1000 flops while `host1` will compute 2000 flops. A matrix of
 * communications' sizes of ``[0, 1, 2, 3]`` specifies the following data exchanges:
 *
 *   +-----------+-------+------+
 *   |from \\ to | host0 | host1|
 *   +===========+=======+======+
 *   |host0      |   0   |  1   |
 *   +-----------+-------+------+
 *   |host1      |   2   |  3   |
 *   +-----------+-------+------+
 *
 * - From host0 to host0: 0 bytes are exchanged
 * - From host0 to host1: 1 byte is exchanged
 * - From host1 to host0: 2 bytes are exchanged
 * - From host1 to host1: 3 bytes are exchanged
 *
 * In a parallel execution, all parts (all executions on each hosts, all communications) progress exactly at the
 * same pace, so they all terminate at the exact same pace. If one part is slow because of a slow resource or
 * because of contention, this slows down the parallel execution as a whole.
 *
 * These objects are somewhat surprising from a modeling point of view. For example, the unit of their speed is
 * somewhere between flop/sec and byte/sec. Arbitrary parallel executions will simply not work with the usual platform
 * models, and you must :ref:`use the ptask_L07 host model <options_model_select>` for that. Note that you can mix
 * regular executions and communications with parallel executions, provided that the host model is ptask_L07.
