It was replaced by the kernel/models module, and that + refactoring took almost 10 years to properly complete. + +S4U: + - Activity::set_remaining() is not public anymore. Use for example + Comm::set_payload_size() to change the size of the simulated data. + - New function: Engine::flatify_platform(), to get a fully detailed vision of the + configured platform. + - Full simDAG integration: Activity::start() actually starts only when all dependencies + are fullfiled. If it cannot be started right away, it will start as soon as it becomes + possible. + +Kernel: + - optimize an internal datastructure (use a set instead of a list for ongoing activities), + leading to a potentially big performance gain, in particular with many detached comms. + +MPI: + - New option smpi/barrier-collectives to add a barrier to some collectives + to detect dangerous code that /may/ work on some MPI implems. + - New function SMPI_app_instance_start() to easily start a MPI instance in your S4U simulation. + +Models: + - Write the section of the manual about models, at least. + - WiFi: the total capacity of a link depends on the amout of flows on that link. + - Use the nonlinear callback feature of LMM to reflect this. + - Calibration values can be changed to match different MCS configurations + - See the example teshsuite/models/wifi_usage_decay/wifi_usage_decay.cpp + - See also "A Flow-Level Wi-Fi Model for Large Scale Network Simulation" + https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03777726 + - Merge parameters network/bandwidth-factor and smpi/bw-factor that serve the same purpose. + - Same for the latency + - Rewrite the corresponding documentation. + - Allow to disable the TCP windowing modeling by setting network/TCP-gamma to 0. + - Finally kill the 'compound' host model. You can change the CPU or network model + with the default host model, as it should. + - Rename option "surf/precision" to "precision/timing" for clarity. + - Rename option "maxmin/precision" to "precision/work-amount" for clarity. + - New function: Engine::flatify_platform() to debug your platform. + +sthread: + - Implement pthread_join in MC mode. + - Implement semaphore functions in sthread. + - Add an intricated way to verify the access to non-reentrant data structures + It requires code annotation, as shown in examples/sthread/stdobject/stdobject.cpp + +Model checking: + - Synchronize the MBI tests with upstream. + - Show the full actor bactraces when replaying a MC trace (with model-check/replay) + and the status of all actors on deadlocks in MC mode. + +XBT: + - simgrid::xbt::cmdline and simgrid::xbt::binary_name are gone. + Please use simgrid::s4u::Engine::get_cmdline() instead. + +Documentation: + - New section in the user guide on the provided performance models. + - New section presenting some technical good practices for (potential) contributors. + - Add a section on errors and exceptions to the API documentation. + - Move the s4u examples to a section on their own to ease navigation. + +Fixed bugs (FG#.. -> FramaGit bugs; FG!.. -> FG merge requests) + (FG: issues on Framagit; GH: issues on GitHub) + - FG#18: Java bindings should be redone or removed + - FG!118: Wi-Fi callback mechanism + - FG!119: SMPI: add option to inject a barrier before every collective call + - GH#383: Segfault when adding a disk after load_platform(xml) + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +SimGrid (3.32) October 3. 2022. + +The Wiedervereinigung release. Germany was reunited 32 years ago. + +General: + - SimGrid now requires a compiler with C++17 support to compile the lib. + Our public headers still allow the user code to be compiled in C++14. + - Support graphviz v3 and ns-3 v3.36 (older versions are still supported). + - Tested with clang (v11, v13, v14 and v16), gcc (v7 to v13) and IntelCC v2022.2 + +S4U: + - API evolutions: + - kill signal Comm::on_completion that was not working anyway. + - Expose signals Activity::on_suspend and Activity::on_resume + - New macro xbt_enforce(): similar to xbt_assert(), but throws an AssertionError + instead of calling abort(). + - New: s4u::Exec::get_thread_count() + - Various cleanups around virtual machines: + - host_by_name() and friends now only return hosts. VMs are now excluded. + - It is now impossible to search a VM by name globally. + You can only search VM by name on a given PM, so either you know + the PM on which your VM runs and you can search by name, or you need + to manually iterate over all PMs to search this VM. + - The s4u::VirtualMachine constructor is now deprecated. + Please use s4u::Host::create_vm() instead. + - Rename s4u::VirtualMachine::on_creation() to on_vm_creation() to + avoid confusion with s4u:Host::on_creation() that is inherited. + Also s4u::VirtualMachine::on_destruction -> on_vm_destruction(). + - Bug fixes: + - One-sided communications (Comm::sendto) can now be detached, + and should now be more resilient to network and host faults.
