use SimGrid for their integration and performance testing.
In SMPI, communications are simulated while computations are
emulated. This means that while computations occur as they would in
-the real systems, communication calls are intercepted and achived by

To start using SMPI, you just need to compile your application with

through memory copy, while the simulator's performance models are used
to predict the time taken by each communications. Any computations

The elements basic elements (with :ref:`pf_tag_host` and

-any pair of hosts are explicitely given with :ref:`pf_tag_route`. Any
-host must be given a computational speed (in flops) while links must
-be given a latency (in seconds) and a bandwidth (in bytes per
-second). Note that you can write 1Gflops instead of 1000000000flops,
-and similar. Last point: :ref:`pf_tag_route`s are symmetrical by
-default (but this can be changed).
