- S4U
- - Link::name() is deprecated and will be removed in v3.21, use instead
- Link::getCname().
- - Mailbox::getName() changed to return a std::string, use instead
- Mailbox::getCname() to get a char*.
- - Storage::getName() changed to return a std::string, use intead
- Storage::getCname() to get a char*.
+ S4U New features
+ - s4u::onDeadlock() signal, run before stopping the simulation.
+ - s4u::Exec: asynchronous executions (abstraction of background
+ threads)
+ - s4u::Host->getLoad() returns the achieved speed in flops/s
+
+ S4U API changes
+ - Link::name() is deprecated and will be removed in v3.21, use
+ Link::getCname() instead.
+ - Mailbox::getName() changed to return a std::string, use
+ Mailbox::getCname() instead to get a char*.
+ - Storage::getName() changed to return a std::string, use
+ Storage::getCname() instead to get a char*.
+ - s4u::allStorages() becomes s4u::getStorageList(whereTo)
+ to have both allocation and deallocation of the map in user space.
+
+ MSG
+ - Forbid the use of MSG_task_get_flops_amount() on parallel tasks:
+ The amount of flops remaining to do is a vector, not a scalar.
+ - Introduce MSG_task_get_remaining_work_ratio(), which does what its
+ name implies on both sequential and parallel tasks.
+ - Both changes fix GitHub's #223 using PR #237 as a basis.
+ Thanks Michael Mercier.
+
+ SURF
+ - LMM stuff moved to its own namespace: simgrid::kernel::lmm.
+ - Renamed LMM classes (e.g. s_lmm_system_t -> System).
+
+ Virtual Machines
+ - Live migration is getting moved to a plugin. Dirty page tracking is
+ the first part of this plugin. This imply that VM migration is now
+ only possible if one this function is called :
+ - C/MSG: MSG_vm_live_migration_plugin_init()
+ - C/C++: sg_vm_live_migration_plugin_init()
+ - Java: Msg.liveMigrationInit()
+ For C and C++, "simgrid/plugins/live_migration.h" also has to be
+ included.
