MPI profilers). You can reuse this mechanism for any kind of trace
that you want to replay, for example to study how a P2P DHT overlay
reacts to a given workload.
- - Simulating algorithms with the legacy interface: :ref:`MSG for distributed
- algorithms <MSG_doc>` (in :ref:`C <MSG_doc>` or :ref:`Java
- <Java_doc>`). SimGrid was founded in 1998, and many interfaces were proposed
- along the way. MSG (introduced around 2002) is still present in SimGrid. It
- does not evolve anymore, but given its popularity, it will not be removed
- until at least 2020. That being said, our goal is to make S4U so useful that
- this legacy API becomes useless and obsolete.
- - We are currently working on the ability to modify any existing
+ - A prototypal tool is intended to allow the modification of any existing
application so that it can run on top of SimGrid. This project,
called `Remote-SimGrid
<https://framagit.org/simgrid/remote-simgrid>`_, is somewhat
of any legacy application, with absolutely no modification. We call it
SimOS, even if it will not become usable before several years of
additional work.
