SimGrid (3.30.1) NOT RELEASED YET (v3.31 expected March 20. 2022, 15:33 UTC)
+MC:
+ - Rework the internals, for simpler and modern code. This shall unlock many future improvements.
+ - You can now define plugins onto SafetyChecker (a simple DFS explorer), using the declared signals.
+ See CommunicationDeterminism for an example.
+ - Support mutex, semaphore and barrier in DPOR reduction
+ - Seems to work on Arm64 architectures too.
+ - Display a nice error message when ptrace is not usable.
+
SMPI:
- fix for FG#100 by ensuring small asynchronous messages never overtake larger
ones, conforming to the standard.
their handles.
- tracing: ensure that we dump the TI traces continuously during execution and
not just at the end, reducing memory cost and performance hit.
+ - Update OpenMPI collectives selection logic to match current one (4.1.2)
+
+S4U:
+ - New signal: Engine::on_simulation_start_cb()
+ - Reimplementation of barriers natively.
+ Previously, they were implemented on top of s4u::Mutex and s4u::ConditionVariable.
+ The new version should be faster (and can be used in the model-checker).
+
+MSG:
+ - MSG_barrier_destroy now expects a non-const msg_barrier parameter.
+
+New plugin: the Chaos Monkey (killing actors at any time)
+ - Along with the new simgrid-monkey script, it tests whether your simulation
+ resists resource failures at any possible timestamp in your simulation.
+ - It is mostly intended to test the simgrid core in extreme conditions,
+ but users may find it interesting too.
XBT:
- Drop xbt_dynar_shrink().
+Python:
+ - Added the following bindings: Comm.wait_for() and Comm.wait_any_for()
+ Example: examples/python/comm-waitfor/
+
Fixed bugs (FG#.. -> FramaGit bugs; FG!.. -> FG merge requests)
(FG: issues on Framagit; GH: issues on GitHub)
+ - FG#57: Mc SimGrid should test whether ptrace is usable
+ - FG#87: Smpi scripts fail with spaces in paths
- FG#100: [SMPI] Order of the message matching is not guaranteed
- FG#101: LGPL 2.1 is deprecated license
+ - GH#151: Missing mutexes for DPOR.
