simulation kernel (default value: 1e-6). Please note that in some
circonstances, this optimization can hinder the simulation accuracy.
+ In some cases, however, one may wish to disable simulation of
+application computation. This is the case when SMPI is used not to
+simulate an MPI applications, but instead an MPI code that performs
+"live replay" of another MPI app (e.g., ScalaTrace's replay tool,
+various on-line simulators that run an app at scale). In this case the
+computation of the replay/simulation logic should not be simulated by
+SMPI. Instead, the replay tool or on-line simulator will issue
+"computation events", which correspond to the actual MPI simulation
+being replayed/simulated. At the moment, these computation events can
+be simulated using SMPI by calling internal smpi_execute*() functions.

+To disable the benchmarking/simulation of computation in the simulated
+application via this runtime automatic switching, the variable \b
+smpi/privatize_global_variables should be set to no

\subsection options_smpi_timing Reporting simulation time
Most of the time, you run MPI code through SMPI to compute the time it
linking is advised (but not with the simgrid library, to avoid replicating
its own global variables).
