+ *
+ * There is 4 main concepts in this module:
+ * - #simgrid::kernel::profile::DatedValue: a pair <timestamp, value> (both are of type double)
+ * - #simgrid::kernel::profile::Profile: a list of dated values
+ * - #simgrid::kernel::profile::Event: links a given trace to a given SimGrid resource.
+ * A Cpu for example has 2 kinds of events: state (ie, is it ON/OFF) and speed,
+ * while a link has 3 iterators: state, bandwidth and latency.
+ * - #simgrid::kernel::profile::FutureEvtSet: makes it easy to find the next occuring event of all profiles
