The Grasgory release: GRAS is really dead now.
GRAS:
- * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.7 or something since
- it was not really maintained with the latest versions of SimGrid as
- nobody stepped in to take the maintainership over.
+ * If you use GRAS, you should stay at SimGrid 3.5 (at most) since it
+ was considered as experimental and badly maintained since then.
* Keeping it was thus a trap to our potential users, that could take
- it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake. GRAS also induces a lot of XBT
- code (for portability sake), that must be maintained too.
+ it instead of MSG or SMPI by mistake despite is pity state.
+ * GRAS seems to have very few users (if any), and no one volunteered
+ to maintain it further. It also induces a lot of XBT code (for
+ portability sake), that must be maintained too.
* For all these reasons, we killed GRAS. If someone wants to revive it
in the future, don't cry, our git history still remembers of GRAS.
+ Documentation:
+ * Major overhaul. Merge our documentation again as time proved that
+ spliting it was really not helping our users.
+ * Further improve the developer documentation to help newcommers
+ hacking on SimGrid itself. The user documentation (and in
+ particular, the beginner documentation) is still in a sorry state.
+
SMPI:
* Now works on Windows too!
* Much more extensive test suite, from MPICH
+SIMDAG:
+ * Add a new loader (SD_PTG_dotload) that creates a parallel task graph
+ (i.e., a DAG whose nodes are parallel tasks) from a dot file. Creates a dynar
+ of SD_TASK_COMP_PAR_AMDAHL and SD_TASK_COMM_MXN_1D_BLOCK tasks.
+ * Bug fix: let task be scheduled when the last dependency to be solved is a
+ control dependency.
+
MSG:
* New function: MSG_process_get_number()
+ * Old function documented: MSG_config()
SURF:
- * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
- congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
- your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
+ * Change the default value of the TCP_gamma constant (maximal size of TCP
+ congestion window) to a more realistic 4MiB value. If you notice changes in
+ your simulation results, you can fall back to the previous 20k tiny window
by adding --cfg=network/TCP_gamma:20000 on command line.
+ * Bug fix about the way periodic availability/state traces are handled.
+ * Bug fix: use default values at start when first event in availability/state
+ trace is not at time 0.
+
+ PLATFORM:
+ * remove the "new_" part of function name sg_platf_new_trace_connect
+ (resulting in sg_platf_trace_connect), since it does not create
+ anything new
XBT:
* Kill synchronized dynars, and xbt_dynar_dopar(). We cannot think of a
usecase where it's really mandatory, and maintaining it was a pain in
- our codebase.
+ our codebase.
* New: xbt_fifo_search(), search an item with a user-provided
comparison function instead of dumb pointer comparison.
