The "SimGrid makes psssshiiiit and jumps into the cloud" release.
- CMAKE:
+ Cmake:
* Remove option custom_flags. Now use environment variables CFLAGS
and LDFLAGS.
* Enable tracing by default. This modules rocks you should use it.
+ * Use default cmake things to detect lua instead of home grown ones.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * Split the doc into a user guide and a reference guide.
MSG:
* Add an experimental interface to manipulate VMs. They are mainly
process groups with very few intrinsic semantic, but they should
allow you to build the semantic you want easily.
* New function: MSG_host_set_property_value()
+ * Deprecate functions MSG_global_init() / MSG_global_init_args()
+ Please use MSG_init() instead. (reducing the amount of entry
+ points in the library helps us).
+ * Make it impossible to link against the wrong version of the lib
+ * Bug fixes that made the host (and link) failures unusable.
Simix:
* Bug fixes around the resource failures: don't let the processes
survive the host they are running onto
SimDag:
- * New type of typed tasks SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL that represents a
+ * New types of typed tasks. SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL represents a
parallel task whose initial work is distributed among host according
to the Amdahl's law. Such tasks are created with a parameter alpha
- that corresponds to the non-parallelizable part of the computation.
-
- Before calling SD_task_schedulel or SD_task_schedulev, the
- SD_task_distribute_comp_amdahl function has to be called with the
- desired number of workstations. The filling of computation_amount and
- communication_amount (actually empty) structures is then done
- seamlessly.
+ that corresponds to the non-parallelizable part of the computation.
+ SD_TASK_COMM_PAR_MXN_1D_BLOCK represents a complex data redistribution
+ between two sets of workstations assuming a 1D block distribution (each
+ workstation owns a similar share of data) on both sides.
+
+ These tasks can be scheduled with SD_task_schedulel or SD_task_schedulev.
+ Data redistribution will be automatically scheduled once parent and child
+ are both scheduled. The filling of computation_amount and
+ communication_amount structures is now done seamlessly thanks to the chosen
+ assumptions.
* New function SD_workstation_dump to display various information
XBT:
* Functions xbt_dict_hash() and xbt_dict_hash_ext() are made public,
- and renamed to xbt_str_hash() and xbt_str_ext()._
+ and renamed to xbt_str_hash() and xbt_str_hash_ext().
