- <b>Ping Pong</b>: @ref examples/msg/app-pingpong/app-pingpong.c\n
It's hard to think of a simpler example: it is just sending one
@ref examples/msg/app-masterworker/app-masterworker.c\n
Another good old example, where one Master process has a bunch of
task to dispatch to a set of several Worker processes. It is fully

@section msg_ex_async Asynchronous communications
until all activities in a given set have completed.
- <b>Waiting for the first completed communication in a set</b>.
- @ref examples/msg/async-waitall/async-waitany.c\n
+ @ref examples/msg/async-waitany/async-waitany.c\n
The @ref MSG_comm_waitany function is useful when you want to block
until one activity of the set completes, no matter which terminates
first.

@section msg_ex_process Acting on Processes
+ - <b>Creating processes</b>.
+ @ref examples/msg/process-create/process-create.c \n
+ Most processes are started from the deployment XML file, but they
+ can also be used with the @ref MSG_process_create() function.
+
- <b>Suspend and Resume processes</b>.
@ref examples/msg/process-suspend/process-suspend.c \n
Processes can be suspended and resumed during their executions
@ref examples/msg/process-migration/process-migration.c \n
Processes can move or be moved from a host to another with the @ref MSG_process_migrate function.
+ - <b>Yielding to other processes</b>.
+ @ref examples/msg/process-yield/process-yield.c\n
+ The @ref MSG_process_yield function interrupts the execution of the
+ current process, leaving a chance to run to the other processes
+ that are ready to run at the exact same timestamp
+
- <b>Controling the process life cycle from the XML</b>.
@ref examples/msg/process-startkilltime/process-startkilltime.c \n
You can specify a start time and a kill time in the deployment
file. See all *_d.xml files in this directory.
-TODO: add an example using @ref MSG_process_create()
-
@section msg_ex_tracing Tracing and visualization features
Tracing can be activated by various configuration options which
are illustrated in these example. See also the
@ref tracing_tracing_options "full list of options related to tracing".
- - <b>Basic example</b>. @ref examples/msg/trace-simple/trace-simple.c \n
- In this very simple program, each process creates, executes,
- and destroy a task. Recommanded options:
- @verbatim --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/uncategorized:yes @endverbatim
+It is interesting to run the process-create example with the following
+options to see the task executions:
- <b>Platform tracing</b>.
@ref examples/msg/trace-platform/trace-platform.c \n
@endverbatim
TODO: These tracing examples should be integrated in the examples to
-not dupplicate the C files. A full command line to see the result in
+not duplicate the C files. A full command line to see the result in
the right tool (viva/vite/FrameSoc) should be given along with some
screenshots.
They have to be run with the following options:
@verbatim --cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/platform:yes
@endverbatim

- @ref examples/msg/trace-user-variables/trace-user-variables.c
-

+
- <b>Attaching variables to Links</b>.
@ref examples/msg/trace-link-user-variables/trace-link-user-variables.c \n
The tricky part is that you have to know the name of the link you
want to enhance with a variable.

- @ref examples/msg/trace-link-srcdst-user-variables/trace-link-srcdst-user-variables.c \n

It is often easier to update a given variable for all links of a
given network path (identified by its source and destination
hosts) instead of knowing the name of each specific link.

@section msg_ex_apps Examples of Full Applications
- - <b>Parallel Matrix Multiplication</b>.
- @ref examples/msg/app-pmm/app-pmm.c \n
- This little application multiplies two matrices in parallel. Each
- of the 9 processes computes a sub-block of the result, with the
- sub-blocks of the input matrices exchanged between the processes. \n
- This is a classical assignment in MPI lectures, here implemented
- in MSG.
-
- <b>Chord P2P protocol</b>.
@ref examples/msg/dht-chord/dht-chord.c \n
This example implements the well known Chord protocol,
constituting a fully working non-trivial example. This
implementation is also very efficient, as demonstrated in
http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00602216/

-Basic examples and features
-===========================
-
- * properties/msg_prop.c Attaching arbitrary information to host,
- processes and such, and retrieving them with
- MSG_host_get_properties(), MSG_host_get_property_value(),
- MSG_process_get_properties() and MSG_process_get_property_value().
- Also make sure to read the platform and deployment XML files to see
- how to declare these data.
-
- * parallel_task/parallel_task.c: Demonstrates the use of
- MSG_parallel_task_create(), to create special tasks that run on
- several hosts at the same time. The resulting simulations are very
- close to what can be achieved in SimDag, but still allows to use
- the other features of MSG (it'd be cool to be able to mix
- interfaces, but it's not possible ATM).
-
- * priority/priority.c: Demonstrates the use of
- MSG_task_set_priority() to change the computation priority of a
- given task.
-
-Examples of full applications
-=============================
-
- * chord/chord.c: Classical Chord P2P protocol This example implements
- the well known Chord P2P protocol. Its main advantage is that it
- constitute a fully working non-trivial example. In addition, its
- implementation is rather efficient, as demonstrated in
- [57]http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00602216/
