11 # Welcome to the SimGrid project!
13 SimGrid is a scientific instrument to study the behavior of
14 large-scale distributed systems such as Grids, Clouds, HPC or P2P
15 systems. It can be used to evaluate heuristics, prototype applications
16 or even assess legacy MPI applications.
18 Please refer to the [Installing SimGrid](docs/source/Installing_SimGrid.rst) part of the documentation shipped with this
19 repository to learn about the different ways to intall SimGrid. More documentation is also available
20 [online](https://simgrid.frama.io/simgrid/)
22 In any case, you may want to subscribe to the [user mailing list](http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/mailman/listinfo/simgrid-user).
23 There, you can find answers to your questions, or simply discuss with
24 people doing the same kind of research than you do, in an active and
27 Thanks for using our software. Please do great things with it and tell
28 the world about it. Tell us, too, because we love to have positive
