The "Simplicity does not preceed complexity, but follows it" release.
Models:
+ * Change the correction factors used in LMM model, according to
+ the lastest experiments described in INRIA RR-7821.
+ Accuracy should be improved this way.
* Use the partial invalidation optimization by default for the
network too. Should produce the exact same results, only faster.
+ * Major cleanup in surf to merge models and split some optimization
+ mechanisms from the core of the models. As a result you can now
+ specify which model to use (e.g., --cfg=network/model:LV08
+ --cfg=cpu/model:Cas01) and which optimization mode to use
+ (e.g., --cfg=network/optim:lazy --cfg=cpu/optim:TI).
+ Incompatible combinations should err at initialization. See
+ --help-models for the list of all models and optimization modes.
+ * The CLM03 workstation model were dropped for simplicity because it
+ used the deprecated CM02 network model. Use default instead.
+ * Rename the TCP_gamma configuration option to network/TCP_gamma
+ * Rename the coordinates configuration option to
+ network/coordinates, and document it
+ * Use now crosstraffic keyword instead of the terribly missleading
+ fullduplex keyword. It is activated by default now in the current
+ default model, use --cfg=network/crosstraffic:0 to turn it off.
+
+ Simix:
+ * Stabilize the parallel execution mode of user contexts
+ * Introduce configuration variables to control parallel execution:
+ - contexts/synchro: Synchronization mode to use when running
+ contexts in parallel (either futex, posix or busy_wait)
+ - contexts/parallel_threshold: Minimal number of user contexts
+ to be run in parallel (raw contexts only)
SimDag:
* Performance boost by using a swag internally to compute the set of
XBT:
* Mallocators: allow value NULL for the reset function.
+ * Dicts: new function xbt_dict_new_homogeneous(void(*)(void*)) to
+ create homogeneous dictionaries, where all the elements share the
+ same free function.
