-Welcome to the SimGrid user guide. In this document, you will find how to install, get started, configure, and run your first simulation with SimGrid.

-\section sim_over SimGrid Overview
-SimGrid is a toolkit that provides core functionalities for the simulation
-of distributed applications in heterogeneous distributed environments.
-
-The specific goal of the project is to facilitate research in the area of
-distributed and parallel application scheduling on distributed computing
-platforms ranging from simple network of workstations to Computational
-Grids.

-\section ug_overview Overview of the toolkit components
-
-As depicted by the following diagram, the SimGrid toolkit is basically
-three-layered (click on the picture to jump to a specific component).

-\subsection ug_overview_envs Programmation environments layer
-
-SimGrid provides several programmation environments built on top of a unique
-simulation kernel. Each environment targets a specific audiance and
-constitutes a different paradigm. To choose which of them you want to use,
-you have to think about what you want to do and what would be the result of
-your work.
-
- - If you want to study a theoritical problem and compare several
- heuristics, you probably want to try <b>\ref MSG_API</b> (yet another
- historical name). It was designed exactly to that extend and should allow
- you to build easily rather realistic multi-agents simulation. Yet,
- realism is not the main goal of this environment and the most annoying
- technical issues of real platforms are masked here. Check the \ref
- MSG_API section for more information.
-
- - If you want to study the behaviour of a MPI application using emulation
- technics, you should have a look at the <b>\ref SMPI_API</b> (Simulated
- MPI) programming environment. Unfortunately, this work is still underway.
- Check the \ref SMPI_API section for more information.
-
-If your favorite programming environment/model is not there (BSP,
-components, OpenMP, etc.) is not represented in the SimGrid toolkit yet, you may
-consider adding it. You should contact us first on the
-<a href=http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/mailman/listinfo/simgrid-devel>SimGrid
-developers mailing list</a>, though.
-
-\subsection ug_overview_kernel Simulation kernel layer
-
-The core functionnalities to simulate a virtual platform are provided by a
-module called <b>\ref SURF_API</b>. It is
-very low-level and is not intended to be used as such by end-users. Instead,
-it serve as a basis for the higher level layer.
-
-SURF main features are a fast max-min linear solver and the ability to
-change transparently the model used to describe the platform. This greatly
-eases the comparison of the several models existing in the litterature.
-
-See the \ref SURF_API section for more details.
-
-\subsection ug_overview_fondation Base layer
-
-The base of the whole toolkit is constituted by the <b>\ref XBT_API
-(eXtended Bundle of Tools)</b>.
-
-It is a portable library providing some grounding features such as \ref
-XBT_log, \ref XBT_ex and \ref XBT_config. XBT also encompass
-the following convenient datastructures: \ref XBT_dynar, \ref XBT_fifo, \ref
-XBT_dict, \ref XBT_heap, \ref XBT_set and \ref XBT_swag.
-
-See the \ref XBT_API section for more details.
-
-
-\subsection ug_lucas_layer Tracing simulation
-Finally, a transversal module allows you to trace your simulation. More documentation in the section \ref TRACE_doc
