-SimGrid is a framework to simulate distributed computer systems.
-
-It can be used to either assess abstract algorithms, or to profile and
-debug real distributed applications. SimGrid enables studies in the
-domains of (data-)Grids, IaaS Clouds, Clusters, High Performance
-Computing, Volunteer Computing and Peer-to-Peer systems.
-
-Technically speaking, SimGrid is a library. It is neither a graphical
-interface nor a command-line simulator running user scripts. The
-interaction with SimGrid is done by writing programs with the exposed
-functions to build your own simulator.
-
-SimGrid is a Free Software distributed under the LGPL license. You are
-thus welcome to use it as you wish, or even to modify and distribute
-your version (provided that your version is as free as ours). It also
-means that SimGrid is developed by a vivid community of users and
-developers. We hope that you will come and join us!
