SimGrid (3.7) NOT RELEASED; urgency=low
- The "Simplicity does not preceed complexity, but follows it" release.
+ The "sprint cleanups (before spring)" release.
Models:
+ * We can specify the smpi latency/bandwidth factor with command line
+ add --cfg=smpi/bw_factor:"threshold0:value0;...;thresholdN:valueN"
+ or add --cfg=smpi/lat_factor:"threshold0:value0;...;thresholdN:valueN"
+ You can also use the "config tag" from platform file by adding this line
+ <prop id="smpi/bw_factor" value="threshold0:value0;...;thresholdN:valueN"></prop>
+ (see "example/platforms/tag_config.xml" to use "config tag").
+ Note that the command line supersedes the platform file configuration.
* 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 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.
+ * Experimental: new configuration option --cfg=surf/nthreads:N to run
+ analytical models in parallel with N threads (default is 1).
* Ongoing refactoring the model parsing to make XML files optional
(more work is needed here to fully achieve this goal)
tasks that are finished and should constitute the return value of
SD_simulate.
+ SMPI:
+ * Enable it by default now that it is considered rather stable.
+
XBT:
* Mallocators: allow value NULL for the reset function.
* Dicts: new function xbt_dict_new_homogeneous(void(*)(void*)) to
