- The **simulated platform**. This is a description of a given
distributed system (machines, links, disks, clusters, etc). Most of
- the platform files are written in XML although a Lua interface is
- under development. SimGrid makes it easy to augment the Simulated
- Platform with a Dynamic Scenario where for example the links are
- slowed down (because of external usage) or the machines fail. You
- even have support to specify the applicative workload that you want
- to feed to your application
