\subsubsection faq_SURF_multicore Modeling multi-core resources
Since version 3.6 of simgrid we can specify the core number of a resource.
-To use this feature use tag 'host' with 'core' parameter.
+To use this feature use tag 'host' with 'core' attribute.
\verbatim
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid.dtd">
</platform>
\endverbatim
+The specified computing power will be available to up to 6 sequential
+tasks without sharing. If more tasks are placed on this host, the
+resource will be shared accordingly. For example, if you schedule 12
+tasks on the host, each will get half of the computing power. Please
+note that although sound, this model were never scientifically
+assessed. Please keep this fact in mind when using it.

\subsubsection faq_SURF_dynamic Modeling dynamic resource availability
A nice feature of SimGrid is that it enables you to seamlessly have
specify <tt>-lpthread</tt> on the linker command line. As usual, this should
come after <tt>-lsimgrid</tt> on this command line.
+\subsubsection faq_trouble_lib_msg_deprecated "gcc: undefined reference to MSG_*"
+
+Since version 3.7 all the #m_channel_t mecanism is deprecated. So functions
+about this mecanism may get removed in future releases.
+
+List of functions:
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(int) MSG_get_host_number(void);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(m_host_t *) MSG_get_host_table(void);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_get_errno(void);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_get(m_task_t * task, m_channel_t channel);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_get_with_timeout(m_task_t * task, m_channel_t channel, double max_duration);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_get_from_host(m_task_t * task, int channel, m_host_t host);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_get_ext(m_task_t * task, int channel, double max_duration, m_host_t host);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_put(m_task_t task, m_host_t dest, m_channel_t channel);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_put_bounded(m_task_t task, m_host_t dest, m_channel_t channel, double max_rate);

+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_task_put_with_timeout(m_task_t task, m_host_t dest, m_channel_t channel, double max_duration);

+\li XBT_PUBLIC(int) MSG_task_Iprobe(m_channel_t channel);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(int) MSG_task_probe_from(m_channel_t channel);

+\li XBT_PUBLIC(int) MSG_task_probe_from_host(int channel, m_host_t host);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(MSG_error_t) MSG_set_channel_number(int number);
+
+\li XBT_PUBLIC(int) MSG_get_channel_number(void);
+
+If you want them you have to compile Simgrid v3.7 with option "-Denable_msg_deprecated=ON".
+Using them should print warning to inform what new function you have to use.
