+Any simulated platform must contain **basic elements**, such as hosts, links, disks, etc. SimGrid gives you a great
liberty when defining the **routing of your platform**, i.e., the network path taken between each pair of hosts.
Finally, you may also describe an **experimental scenario**, with qualitative (e.g., bandwidth variations representing
an external load) and qualitative (e.g., representing how some elements fail and restart over time) changes.
The most important elements are the basic ones: :ref:`pf_tag_host`,
:ref:`pf_tag_link`, and similar. Then come the routes between any pair

speed (in flops) while links must be given a latency (in seconds) and
a bandwidth (in bytes per second). Note that you can write 1Gflops
