+.TH smpirun 1
+.SH NAME
+smpirun \- Exectute MPI programs in the SimGrid simulator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+smpirun [\fISMPI OPTIONS\fR]… \fB\-platform\fR <platform.xml> \fB\-hostfile\fR <hostfile> program [\fISIMULATION OPTIONS\fR] [\fIPROGRAM OPTIONS\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+smpirun car run MPI programs that were compiled with smpicc on top of
+the simulator. Basically, it generates a deployment files from the
+provided hostfile (if needed), and launches the simulation with the right
+arguments. It is intended to be easy to use to regular MPI users.
+.SH MANDATORY PARAMETERS
+.TP
+\fB\-platform\fR <platform.xml>
+XML file describing the platform on which we want to deploy the program
+.TP
+\fB\-hostfile\fR, \fB\-machinefile\fR <hostfile>
+Hostfile listing all the machines in use
+.SH SMPI OPTIONS
+The smpirun itself accepts some optional parameters, that are not to
+be mixed with the configuration options described in the next section.
+
+.TP
+\fB\-help\fR
+Print the usage and a résumé of the available options
+.TP
+\fB\-keep-temps\fR
+Do not remove the generated files after execution.
+.TP
+\fB\-wrapper\fR <command>
+Use command to run the program (e.g. "valgrind", "gdb --args", "rr record").
+You usually want to use the "-foreground" option as well in order to have a TTY.
+.TP
+\fB\-foreground\fR
+Run the child process in the foreground.
+This gives the child process access to the TTY.
+.TP
+\fB\-map\fR
+Display the machine on which each process rank is mapped.
+.TP
+\fB\-np\fR <numprocs>
+Use that amount of processes. By default, there is the same number of processes as there are of hosts in the hostfile.
+.TP
+\fB\-no-privatize\fR
+Disable the globals privatization, that is activated by default.
+This should only be necessary if you use dynamic libraries, but you
+should probably link statically instead of disabling this. Do not link
+statically against SimGrid, only the others.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace\fR
+Activate the trace mechanism if available (equivalent to \fB--cfg\fR=\fItracing\fR:\fIyes\fR \fB--cfg\fR=\fItracing/smpi\fR:\fIyes\fR)
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-ti\fR
+Activate time independent tracing.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-comment\fR <comment>
+Put a comment on the top of the trace file.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-comment-file\fR <file>
+Insert the content of the file at the head of the trace file as a comment.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-grouped\fR
+Group MPI processes by location.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-resource\fR
+Trace resource utilization.
+.TP
+\fB\-trace-file\fR <tracefile>
+Name of the tracefile
+
+.SH SIMULATION OPTIONS
+You can change many simulation parameter on the command line by passing
+\fB--cfg\fR=\fIparameter\fR:\fIvalue\fR after the program name.
+A full list of existing parameters and their meaning can be found at
+http://simgrid.gforge.inria.fr/simgrid/latest/doc/options.html
+
+Here are some options commonly used with SMPI:
+.TP
+\fB--cfg=smpi/cpu-threshold:XXX\fR
+Only simulate computation chunks that last more than XXX seconds.
+.TP
+\fB--cfg=smpi/simulate-computation:no\fR
+Disable the simulation of all computation chunks (that are still executed on the host machine).
