=============================================
SimGrid is a framework to simulate distributed computer systems. It can be used
-to either :ref:`assess abstract algorithms <usecase_simalgo>`_, or to
-:ref:`debug and profile real MPI applications <usecase_smpi>`_.

SimGrid is routinely used in studies on (data-)Grids,
IaaS Clouds (:ref:`API <API_s4u_VirtualMachine>`, :ref:`examples <s4u_ex_clouds>`),
**highly scalable** (`🖹 <http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00602216/>`__) while
**theoretically sound and experimentally assessed** (`🖹 <http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2517448>`__).
Most of the time, SimGrid is used to predict the performance (time and energy) of a
