+SimGrid (3.27.1) NOT RELEASED YET (v3.28 expected June 21. 2021, 03:32 UTC)
-User-visible changes:
- - Removed some option aliases that were deprecated since v3.23 (June 2019)
- - 'verbose-exit' is now 'debug/verbose-exit'
- - 'simix/breakpoint' is now 'debug/breakpoint'
- - 'clean-atexit' is now 'debug/clean-atexit'
+S4U:
+ - Fixed a bug where Activity::wait_for() killed the activity on timeout.
+ Explicitly cancel the activity to get back to previous behavior.
+
+SMPI:
+ - The default SMPI compiler flags are no more taken from the environment.
+ They can be explicitly set through cmake parameters SMPI_C_FLAGS,

+SimGrid (3.27) March 29. 2021
+
+The Ragnar Release (anniversary of the siege of Paris by Vikings in 845)
+
+Main user-visible changes:
+ - All functions marked as deprecated for one year were removed.
- Removed all that was related to the "Storage" type in all APIs and bindings.
"Disks" have been introduced more than a year ago to replace them for the better.
It's time to finish this replacement.
- - SMPI ABI break from previous version: MPI global handles (predefined datatypes,
+ - SMPI ABI breaks from previous version: MPI global handles (predefined datatypes,
ops, COMM_WORLD) are now defined differently, and can be used in initializers,
avoiding "initializer element is not constant" errors with some codes. Please be
careful to recompile your MPI codes if switching to this new SimGrid version.
- Network model ns-3 now requires version ns-3.28 or higher.
+ - Removed some option aliases that were deprecated since v3.23 (June 2019)
+ - 'verbose-exit' is now 'debug/verbose-exit'
+ - 'simix/breakpoint' is now 'debug/breakpoint'
+ - 'clean-atexit' is now 'debug/clean-atexit'
S4U:
- New functions: Comm::sendto_{init,async} to initiate a communication
- Move back to the classical Breathe tool chain, and fix many small glitches.
SMPI:
- - Handle leak checking: SMPI will now display a message if MPI
- handles are still present at the end of a simulation. This may be nothing,
- but if the number is high it could be a problem. To display more information
- about the type of leaked handle, option --cfg=smpi/list-leaks:n. will display
- the n first leaked pointers and their types. Known issue: MPI_Cancel usage
- may trigger handle leaks in SMPI.
- Using smpirun with -wrapper "valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes"
- can provide more information to help locate precisely the leaks.
- - Memory allocations analysis: MPI codes using malloc/calloc to
- allocate memory, and not compiled with SMPI_NO_OVERRIDE_MALLOC, can use
- smpi/display-analysis option to show at the end of execution the amount of
- memory allocated through these calls, and locate the most expensive one.
- This helps finding the targets for manual memory sharing, or the threshold
- to use for smpi/auto-shared-malloc-thresh option.
+ - Handle leak checking: SMPI will now display a message if MPI handles are still
+ present at the end of a simulation. Option smpi/list-leaks:n will display the n
+ first leaked pointers and their types.
+ - smpi/display-allocs option : Display Memory allocations analysis, with hints
+ about the largest allocations. This only works for allocations with malloc/calloc
+ and not compiled with SMPI_NO_OVERRIDE_MALLOC
+ - "-analyze" option in smpirun will activate smpi/display-allocs and smpi/display-timing
- New implemented MPI calls: MPI_File_set_size, MPI_Aint_add, MPI_Aint_diff,
MPI_Type_get_extent_x, MPI_Type_get_true_extent_x, MPI_Status_set_elements_x
- Support for MPI C++ datatypes (MPI_CXX_BOOL, MPI_CXX_FLOAT_COMPLEX,
