SimGrid (3.23.3) NOT RELEASED YET (v3.24 expected September 23. 7:50 UTC)
S4U:
+ - Introduce a s4u::Disk interface to manage the newly introduced <disk>
+ tag. s4u::Disk is called to supplant s4u::Storage in a near future. It
+ thus becomes the default resource to execute I/O operations. Examples
+ and the file system plugin have been modified to use disks instead of
+ storage elements. Storage can still be used but is doomed to disappear.
+ Users are thus adviced to update their simulators accordingly.
- Barrier::wait returns SG_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD for (only) one actor
for consistency with pthread_barrier_wait()
- Host::get_englobing_zone() returns the englobing netzone
- xbt_mutex_t and xbt_cond_t are now marked as deprecated, a new C interface
on S4U is already available to replace them by sg_mutex_t and sg_cond_t.
+XML:
+ - Introduce the <disk> tag as a replacement of the <storage>, <storage_type>,
+ and <mount> tags. The rationale is finish to decouple what should be handle
+ by SimGrid kernel (i.e., resources and activities) from plugins built in
+ user space (e.g., the file system plugin). This new tag currently accepts
+ only three attributes (id, read_bw, and write_bw). All the other information
+ that was declared with the storage related tags now has to be expressed as
+ properties. An example of platform using this new tag is available at
+ examples/platforms/hostsè_with_disks.xml
+
Fixed bugs (FG#.. -> framagit bugs; FG!.. -> framagit merge requests):
- FG#28: add sg_actor_self (and other wrappers on this_actor methods)
- FG#29 and FG#33: provide a new C API to mutexes and condition variables
- FG!15: execute_flops now logs compute
- FG!16: Fix the ns-3 bindings when several flows are simultaneously finishing
- FG!17: ns-3: unblock the right number of communications + others issues
-
+ - FG!18: Improving the performance of the ns-3 bindings
+ - GH#207: Error in the throughput of TCP transfer
