+
+There is currently no native support for multi-core or SMP machines in
+SimGrid. We are currently working on it, but coming up with the right
+model is very hard: Cores share caches and bus to access memory and
+thus interfere with each others. Memory contention is a crucial
+component of multi-core modeling.
+
+In the meanwhile, some user-level tricks can reveal sufficient for
+you. For example, you may model each core by a CPU and add some very
+high speed links between them. This complicates a bit the user code
+since you have to remember that when you assign something to a (real)
+host, it can be any of the (fake) hosts representing the cores of a
+given machine. For that, you can use the prop tag of the XML files as
+follows. Your code should then look at the ‘machine’ property
+associated with each workstation, and run parallel tasks over all
+cores of the machine.

+ <host id="machine0/core0" power="91500E6">
+ <prop id="machine" value="machine0"/>
+ <prop id="core" value="0"/>
+ </host>
+ <host id="machine0/core1" power="91500E6">
+ <prop id="machine" value="machine0"/>
+ <prop id="core" value="1"/>
+</host>
