MPI profilers). You can reuse this mecanism for any kind of trace
that you want to replay, for example to study how a P2P DHT overlay
reacts to a given workload.
- - Simulating algorithms with one of the legacy interfaces: MSG and
- SimDAG (in C or Java). SimGrid was founded in 1998, and many
- interfaces were proposed along the way. MSG, introduced around
- 2002, is still present in SimGrid. It does not evolve anymore, but
- given its popularity, it will not be removed until at least 2020.

- We are currently working on the ability to modify any existing
application so that it can run on top of SimGrid. This project,
called `Remote-SimGrid
.. The old documentation of the obsolete MSG replay module was removed in
