It was marked as deprecated for a couple of years. + We finally complete the implementation of what has been called SimDag++ + internally, i.e., porting the different features of SimDag on top of S4U. + The new way to simulate the execution of dependent activities directly by + maestro (without any other actor) is details in the examples/cpp/dag-* series + of examples. + - The removal of SimDag led us to also remove the export to Jedule files that + was tightly coupled to SimDag. The instrumentation of DAG simulation is still + possible through the regular instrumentation API based on the Paje format. + - We also dropped the old and clumsy Lua bindings to create platforms in a + programmatic way. It can be done in C++ in a much cleaner way now, which + motivates this suppression. + +S4U: + - Introduce on_X_cb() functions for all signals, to attach a new + callback to the signal X. The signal variables are now hidden and + only these functions should be used. + Rationale: this enables the usual deprecation scheme where functions + remain for 4 releases if we need to modify the signals, while the + current code with the signal variables directly visible prevents any + smooth transition. + - New function: Engine::run_until(date), to split the simulation. + - New signal: Activity::on_veto, to detect when an activity fails to start. + - Signal change: Comm::on_start(Comm&, bool) has been replaced by + Comm::on_send and Comm::recv. These two signals respectively correspond to + when the sending or receiving side of a Comm is ready. They are raised at + the same locations as the former Comm::on_start signal. + - New function: Engine::track_vetoed_activities() to interrupt run() + when an activity fails to start, and to keep track of such activities. + Please see the corresponding example for more info. + - New functions: s4u::Comm::{sendto_init, set_source, set_destination} to enable + the use of vetoers with direct host-to-host communications. Both source and + destination have to set for a comm to start. Each call to these setters check + if all vetoes are satisfied. When it is the case, the comm starts. A use case of + these functions is given in examples/cpp/dag-scheduling. + - New functions: {Exec, Io}::update_priority allow you to modify the priority of + these kinds of activities during their execution. Behavior is detailed in + examples/cpp/io-priority/. + +SMPI: + - Dynamic costs for MPI operations: New API to allow users to dynamically + change injected costs for MPI_Recv, MPI_Send and MPI_Isend operations. + Alternative for smpi/or, smpi/os and smpi/ois configuration options. + - Fix some issues with the replay mechanism. + +XBT: + - Function xbt::Extendable::get_data() is now templated with the type of the + pointee. Untyped function is deprecated. Use get_data() if you still + want to retrieve void*. + +Documentation: + - New section: "SimGrid MPI calibration of a Grid5000 cluster" + presenting how to properly calibrate MPI communications in SimGrid. + - Complete and reword the platform section, which is now completed.
