For the last two items, there are essentially two possible ways you can provide
this information as an input:
-\li You can program it, either by using the Lua console (
- \ref MSG_Lua_funct) or, if you're using MSG, some of MSG's platform and
+\li You can program, if you're using MSG, some of MSG's platform and
deployment functions (\ref msg_simulation). If you want to use this,
check the particular documentation. (You can also check the section
\ref pf_flexml_bypassing, however, this documentation is deprecated;
there is a new, but undocumented, way to do it properly).
\li You can use two XML files: one contains the platform description while
- the other contains the deployment instructions.
+ the other contains the deployment instructions. The platform description
+ can also be in Lua format.
For more information on SimGrid's deployment features, please refer to
the \ref deployment documentation.
loopback_bw | no | int | Bandwidth for loopback (if any). See <b>link</b> section for syntax/details. If loopback_bw and loopback_lat (see below) attributes are omitted, no loopback link is created and all intra-node communication will use the main network link of the node. Loopback link is a \ref pf_sharing_policy_fatpipe "\b FATPIPE".
loopback_lat | no | int | Latency for loopback (if any). See <b>link</b> section for syntax/details. See loopback_bw for more info.
topology | no | FLAT\|TORUS\|FAT_TREE (default: FLAT) | Network topology to use. SimGrid currently supports FLAT (with or without backbone, as described before), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus_interconnect">TORUS </a> and FAT_TREE attributes for this tag.
-topo_parameters | no | string | Specific parameters to pass for the topology defined in the topology tag. For torus networks, comma-separated list of the number of nodes in each dimension of the torus. For fat trees, refer to \ref AsClusterFatTree "AsClusterFatTree documentation".
+topo_parameters | no | string | Specific parameters to pass for the topology defined in the topology tag. For torus networks, comma-separated list of the number of nodes in each dimension of the torus. For fat trees, refer to \ref simgrid::surf::AsClusterFatTree "AsClusterFatTree documentation".
