The "Desktop Grid needs love too" release.
- MSG:
- * Port of MSG's mailbox on top of SIMIX network
- The put/get mechanism was greatly simplified thanks to the new SIMIX module.
-
- SIMIX:
- * New SIMIX network module
- It provides a rendez-vous point (aka mailbox) based send/recv API to perform
- synchronous communication.
-
Models improvements:
* Major speedup in the maxmin system solving by using lazy evaluation
Instead of solving completely the maxmin system at each iteration,
should consider redoing your old experiments with this model.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

+
+ SimDag:
+ * new function SD_daxload(char*) to load a DAX file
+ (see http://vtcpc.isi.edu/pegasus/index.php/WorkflowGenerator)
+ * Introduce typed tasks. Specify its kind and cost at creation.
+ At scheduling, just give where it should be placed, and the cost
+ for each involved resource is automatically computed.
+ Existing constructors so far (more to come of course):
+ - SD_task_create_comm_e2e() for end-to-end communication
+ - SD_task_create_comp_seq() for sequential computation
+ Use SD_task_schedulev() / SD_task_schedulel() to schedule them.
+ * new function SD_task_dump() for debuging display
+ * new function SD_task_dotty(task,FILE*) writing to file the info
+ about the task in dotty format
+ * SD_task_dependency_exists() can now cope with having one of its
+ arguments NULL. If so, it tests whether the other argument has any
+ dependency.
+ * Add getters on list of preceding/following tasks:
+ SD_task_get_parents(task) and SD_task_get_children(task)
+ * Add getters on amount of workstations and list:
+ SD_task_get_workstation_count(t) and SD_task_get_workstation_list(t)
+
+
Bug fixes:
+ * GTNetS wrappers should now be usable again (and betterly tested too)
* Fix a major regression from 3.2 where the timeout provided to
MSG_task_put_with_timeout() was used as absolute time before which
the comm should be done.
