-There is several ways to deploy the :ref:`application <application>` you want to
-study on your :ref:`simulated platform <platform>`, i.e. to specify which actor
-should be started on which host. You can do so directly in your program (as
-shown in :ref:`these examples <s4u_ex_actors>`), or using an XML deployment
-file. Unless you have a good reason, you should keep your application apart
-from the deployment as it will :ref:`ease your experimental campain afterward
-<howto_science>`.
-
-Deploying actors from XML is easy: it only involves 3 tags: :ref:`pf_tag_actor`,
-:ref:`pf_tag_argument`, and :ref:`pf_tag_prop`. They must be placed in an
-encompassing :ref:`pf_tag_platform`. Here is a first example (search in the
-archive for files named ``???_d.xml`` for more):
-
-.. code-block:: xml
-
- <?xml version='1.0'?>
- <!DOCTYPE platform SYSTEM "https://simgrid.org/simgrid.dtd">
- <platform version="4.1">
- <!-- The following starts an actor that runs the function `alice()` on the given host.
- -- It is not given any parameter, so its args is empty.
- -->
- <actor host="host1" function="alice" />
-
- <!-- The following starts another actor that runs `bob()` on host2.
- -- The args of this actor contains "3" and "3000" on creation.
- -->
- <actor host="host2" function="bob" />
- <argument value="3"/>
- <argument value="3000"/>
- </actor>
-
- <!-- Carole runs on 'host3', has 1 parameter "42" in its argv and one property.
- -- Use simgrid::s4u::Actor::get_property() to retrieve it.-->
- <actor host="host3" function="carol">
- <argument value="42"/>
- <prop id="SomeProp" value="SomeValue"/>
- </actor>
- </platform>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-.. _pf_tag_actor:
-
-<actor>
---------
-
-This tag starts a new actor executing the given function on a given host.
-
-
-**Parent tags:** :ref:`pf_tag_platform` (only in deployment files) |br|
-**Children tags:** :ref:`pf_tag_argument`, :ref:`pf_tag_prop` |br|
-**Attributes:**
-
-:``host``: Host on which this actor should be started (mandatory).
-:``function``: Code to execute.
-
- That function must be registered beforehand
- with :cpp:func:`simgrid::s4u::Engine::register_actor` or
- with :cpp:func:`simgrid::s4u::Engine::register_function`.
-
- If you are stuck with MSG, use :cpp:func:`MSG_process_create`,
- :cpp:func:`MSG_process_create_with_arguments` or
- :cpp:func:`MSG_process_create_with_environment`.
-
- There is nothing to do in Java, as SimGrid uses introspection abilities to
- retrieve the classes from their names. You must then use the full class name
- (including the package name) in your XML file.
-
-:``start_time``: Useful to delay the start of your actor.
-
- -1 starts the actor immediately.
-:``kill_time``: Time at which the actor should be killed.
-
- -1 means that the actor should not be killed automatically.
-:``on_failure``: What to do when the actor's host is turned off and back on.
-
- Either ``DIE`` (default -- don't restart the actor) or ``RESTART``
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-.. _pf_tag_argument:
-
-<argument>
-----------
-
-Add a parameter to the actor, to its args vector. Naturally, the semantic of
-these parameters completely depend on your program.
-
-
-**Parent tags:** :ref:`pf_tag_actor` |br|
-**Children tags:** none |br|
-**Attributes:**
-
-:``value``: The string to add to the actor's args vector.
