The "Desktop Grid needs love too" release.
+ Models improvements:
+ * Major speedup in the maxmin system solving by using lazy evaluation
+ Instead of solving completely the maxmin system at each iteration,
+ only invalidate (and recompute) the modified parts.
+ This new feature is enabled in default models but you can try to
+ turn it on with "--cfg:maxmin-selective-update=1" for other models.
+ * Cas01 IMproved as default CPU model
+ This CPU model is the same Cas01 model, but it uses the
+ maxmin-selective-update flag and a heap structure to manage
+ actions on SURF kernel.
+ It reduces the complexity to find the next action to finish and,
+ consequently, it's faster than the old Cas01.
+ This is the new default CPU model (Cas01).
+ * Rename the old Cas01 model to Cas01_fullupdate
+ Keep the old cpu model Cas01 with the new name of Cas01_fullupdate.
+ Use "--cfg=cpu_model:Cas01_fullupdate" to use the old default CPU model.
+ * CpuTI (CPU Trace Integration)
+ A new CPU model whose objective is simulate faster when using
+ availability trace files.
+ Instead of using a full featured, over engineered maxmin system for
+ CPU modeling, this model does the pre-integration of traces files
+ to calculate the amount of CPU power available, and so, executes
+ faster than the old CPU models.
+ Use "--cfg=cpu_model:CpuTI" to change to this CPU model.
* Use LV08 as default network model since it gives better accuracy
for small messages and shouldn't change things for big ones.
Use --cfg=network_model:CM02 to get the previous behavior.
+
+
+ ******************************************
+ *DO NOT MIX 3.3.4 RESULTS WITH OLDER ONES*
+ ******************************************
+ * The new CPU model may changes simulations!
+ The point is that events occurring at the exact same timestamp
+ are not scheduled in the same order with the old and new
+ version. This may be enough to completely change the execution
+ of simulations in some cases.
+ * The new network model will change simulations!
+ This new model is more realistic than the previous one, so you
+ should consider redoing your old experiments with this model.
+ Sorry for the inconvenience.
+
+ MSG:
+ * Port of MSG's mailbox on top of SIMIX network
+ The put/get mechanism was greatly simplified thanks to the new SIMIX module.
+
+ SIMIX:
+ * New SIMIX network module
+ It provides a rendez-vous point (aka mailbox) based send/recv API to perform
+ synchronous communication.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ * GTNetS wrappers should now be usable again (and betterly tested too)
* Fix a major regression from 3.2 where the timeout provided to
MSG_task_put_with_timeout() was used as absolute time before which
the comm should be done.
MSG_USE_DEPRECATED, you can use the old name
MSG_task_put_with_time_out() for MSG_task_put_with_timeout()
* Allow to compile from the SVN with automake 1.11
- * Invalidate maxmin system partially
- This feature optimizes the maxmin solution through partial invalidation of maxmin system.
- Use "--cfg:maxmin-selective-update=1" to enable it.
- * Cas01_IM (Cas01 IMproved)
- This CPU model is the same Cas01 model, but it uses the maxmin-selective-update flag
- and a heap structure to manage actions on SURF kernel. It reduces the complexity to
- find the next action to finish and, consequently, it's faster than the old Cas01.
- Use "--cfg=cpu_model:Cas01_IM" to change to this CPU model.
- * CpuTI (CPU Trace Integration)
- A new CPU model whose objective is simulate faster when using availability trace files.
- It does the pre-integration of traces files to calculate the amount of CPU power available,
- and so, executes faster than the old CPU models.
- Use "--cfg=cpu_model:CpuTI" to change to this CPU model.
* Fix some problems when using the "start_time" tag in deployment XMLs.
