+ - Rename NetCards to NetPoints.
+ This was intended to help NS3 users, but that's not a netcard.
+ That's a point in the routing algorithm, let's avoid do wrong simplifications.

+ MSG
+ - New function: MSG_process_yield()
+
+ Java
+ - Ensure that an actor can kill itself with Process::exit()

+SimGrid (3.14.159) stable; urgency=low
+
+ The previous release was only a crude approximation of a Pi release;
+ this one should be a bit better.
+
+ - Revert a last minute change that broke on Mac OSX.
+ - Fix the changelog and NEWS files.
+ - Improve the documentation, in particular of the routing module.
+ - Integrate some patches flying around in Debian.

+
+ Documentation
+ * The whole documentation was reworked and reorganized. There is
+ still much room for improvement here, but we're on it.
+
+ Infrastructure
+ * We now need python3 for our testing infrastructure.
+ * Model checking needs libevent
SMPI
+ * Privatization is now activated by default in smpirun
+ You can turn it off with -no-privatize if something goes wrong.
+
* Call-location tracing for SMPI.
You can add the exact location (filename / linenumber) of an MPI call to
your trace files and slow down or speed up the simulation between two
- consecutive calls by using an adjustment file. (See the documentation.)
+ consecutive calls by using an adjustment file (see the documentation).
- * Fixed computation of timings for MPI_Send, MPI_Recv but possibly also others
+ * Fixed computation of timings for MPI_Send, MPI_Recv & possibly also others
We've found a bug that prevented SMPI to account for MPI_Send, MPI_Recv
and others (in some cases) in a correct way. That is, the smpi/os, smpi/or
values were ignored in some cases. The timings of these functions can now
be significantly different.
- MSG
- * Remove the functions manipulating mailboxes. Use s4u::Mailbox instead
+ * smpi/cpu-threshold:-1 should become smpi/simulate-computation:no
+ smpi/running-power is renamed to smpi/host-speed
+
+ * smpi/grow-injected-times option to enable or disable multiplication of the
+ timings injected in MPI_Iprobe, or MPI_Test. Enabled by default, which can
+ make simulation less precise (but also much faster).
+
+ * smpirun script should be (much) faster for large deployments.
+
+ * SMPI tracing : fixed issue with poor matching of send/receives.
+
+ * Replay : Fix broken waitall
+
+ New functions and features
+ * MSG_parallel_task_execute_with_timeout, to timeout computations.
+
+ Dropped / renamed functions and features
+ * msg_mailbox_t and associated functions. Use s4u::Mailbox instead.
- MSG_mailbox_is_empty() -> Mailbox::empty()
- MSG_mailbox_front() -> Mailbox::front()
- MSG_mailbox_get_by_alias() -> simgrid::s4u::Mailbox::byName(name)
- MSG_mailbox_get_task_ext() -> MSG_task_receive_ext()
- MSG_mailbox_get_task_ext_bounded -> MSG_task_receive_ext_bounded
+ - MSG_host_(get/set)_params -> MSG_vm_(get/set)_params
+ * Don't pass the free_f parameter to property related functions:
+ - MSG_host_set_property_value()
+ - MSG_as_router_set_property_value()
+ - MSG_storage_set_property_value()
+ * VM properties. Since msg_vm_t are msg_host_t, just use
+ MSG_host_get_property_value() and friends
+ * VM I/O related things:
+ - Ignored parameter of vm_create: core_nb, disk_path and disk_size.
+ - Unimplemented save/restore methods
+ * MSG_as_router_get_property_value() was redundent with
+ MSG_environment_as_get_property_value().
+ - Removed MSG_as_router_*propert*() functions
+ - Added MSG_environment_as_set_property_value() for consistency
+ * xbt heterogeneous dictionnaries (created with xbt_dict_new()).
+ Well, they are still there for now, but deprecated with a warning.
+ Please switch to xbt_dict_new_homogeneous() before this is removed
+ for real.
+ * Task affinity. Its intended behavior (that was very badly tested
+ and probably not really working) was deceiving what most users
+ would have hoped here.
+ * xbt_os_sem_get_value: unused internally, deprecated on OS X El Capitan
+ * Option network/coordinates is now useless and should be dropped.
+
+ Storage:
+ * Added option storage/max_file_descriptors to allow more than 1024 files opened
+
+ SURF:
+ * Added option maxmin/concurrency_limit to allow more than 100 processes per host
+ * Added Dragonfly topology support
+
+ XML:
+ * Add Exa- and Peta- units such as EiB, EB, Eib, Eb for size, and
+ EiBps, EBps, Eibps, Ebps for bandwidth.
+ They may become useful to some lucky ones.
+
+ Java:
+ * New functions: msg.Comm.waitAll() and msg.Comm.waitAny()
+ * ex/app_tokenring: new example, very similar to the MSG Token Ring
+ * ex/async_waitAll: new example, on asynchronous communications
+
+ MSG:
+ * Memory usage should be decreased for simulations with a large number
+ of processes. This also helps for SMPI.
