-This is the SimGrid project.
-There is at least 5 sub-projects in the tree:
+Welcome to the SimGrid project!
- - XBT: eXtended Bundle of Tools (low-level toolbox: logging, datatypes).
- - SURF: a SimUlation aRtiFact. This is the simulation kernel.
- - MSG: originally MetaSimGrid, MSG is a simple distributed application
- simulator.
- - GRAS: Grid Reality And Simulation (message passing API with two
- implementations allowing to compile programs on top of the
- simulator or for the real life without code modification)
- - AMOK: Advanced Metacomputing Overlay Kit (high level toolbox; Grid
- application elements such as distributed database, topology
- discovery service, and so on)
+SimGrid is a scientific instrument to study the behavior of
+large-scale distributed systems such as Grids, Clouds, HPC or P2P
+systems. It can be used to evaluate heuristics, prototype applications
+or even assess legacy MPI applications.
-More informations are available in the doc/ directory.
+More documentation is included in this archive (doc/html/index.html)
+or online at http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/
-In particular, don't forget to read the FAQ in there. It probably contains
-the answer to your question ;)
+In any case, you may want to subscribe to the user mailing list
+(http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/mailman/listinfo/simgrid-user). There,
+you can find answers to your questions, or simply discuss with people
+doing the same kind of research than you do, in an active and friendly
+community.
+
+Thanks for using our software. Please do great things with it and tell
+the world about it. Tell us, too, because we love to have positive
+feedback.
+
+Cheers,
+Da SimGrid Team.
