The Easter Trim Release.
Backwards Compatibility breaks
- - The option "model-check/sparse-checkpoint" was renamed to
- "model-check/sparse_checkpoint" as we attempt to unify our naming
- schemes.
- - The option smpi/async_small_thres was renamed to smpi/async_small_thresh
- as we attempt to unify our naming schemes.
- - The option smpi/send_is_detached_thres was renamed to
- smpi/send_is_detached_thresh as we attempt to unify our naming schemes.
+ - Some command line options were renamed for consistency sake:
+ - model-check/sparse-checkpoint -> model-check/sparse_checkpoint
+ - smpi/async_small_thres -> smpi/async_small_thresh
+ - smpi/send_is_detached_thres -> smpi/send_is_detached_thresh
- - We removed support for writing your simulation in Lua; you can use
- the Java bindings.
+ - Removed Lua simulation bindings (switch to C or Java for that).
+ Lua can still be used to describe platforms
+ - Removed Java kernel plugins.
+ Will be reintroduced after the ongoing major internals reorg.
XML platforms:
* Switch to platform v4 format.
- - Rename (power->speed) the attributes describing the amount of flop
- that a <host>, <peer>, <cluster> or <cabinet> can deliver per second.
+ - Rename from 'power' to 'speed' the attributes describing the amount of
+
flops that a <host>, <peer>, <cluster> or <cabinet> can deliver per second.
- In <trace_connect>, attribute kind="POWER" is now kind="SPEED".
- The DOCTYPE points to the right URL (this file):
http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/simgrid.dtd
+ (the file at this address now documents the changelog since its v1)
- A warning is emitted for unit-less values (they are still accepted).
- speed. Default: 'f' or 'flops'. Also defined:
'Yf', 'Zf', 'Ef', 'Pf', 'Tf', 'Gf', 'Mf', 'kf'
And the same in bits: 'Tibps', 'Gibps', 'Mibps', 'Kibps', 'Tbps', 'Gbps', 'Mbps', 'kbps', 'bps'
- latency. Default: 's' second. Also defined:
'w' week, 'd' day, 'h' hour, 'm' minute, 'ms' millisecond, 'us' microsecond, 'ns' nanosecond, 'ps' picosecond
- * Use the tool simgrid_update_xml to upgrade your files. It does not
- convert the unit-less values. Use tools/sg_xml_unit_converter.py
- for that (or live with the warnings).
+
+ * bin/simgrid_update_xml can upgrade your files automatically (won't convert unit-less values)
+ tools/sg_xml_unit_converter.py may help (but it's just a warning and will probably ever be).
S4U
* s4u::Host is now the prefered public interface to the Host features.
MSG_host_* and SD_workstation_* are #define to the sg_host_* ones
MSG
- * Kill all deprecated functions. They were deprecated since a few
- releases anyway, and probably did not even compile anymore.
+ * Kill all deprecated functions (the ones you had when declaring MSG_DEPRECATED).
+ They were deprecated since a few years, and probably did not even compile anymore.
Simix
* simgrid::simix::kernel() is the closure callback. It ensures that
- xbt_str_parse_int / xbt_str_parse_double, wrapping strtol/strtod
They throw exceptions on invalid input.
- JAVA:
- * Remove the ability to write internal plugins in Java.
- It may be reintroduced once the ongoing cleanup is done.
