-* implement loba_* algorithms (start with some trivial one)
-* add loba algorithm selection (-a number ?)
+* segfault with ./loba cluster1000.xml -N64 -a fairstrategy
+
+    this is a deadlock occuring when:
+    - a process is in the finalize stage;
+    - all processes  but one are blocked on receive;
+    - the process that is still running owns all the remaining load,
+      and sends it all to the finalizing process, and then goes in
+      blocking receive.
+    The finalizing process receives the load, and blocks again,
+    waiting for a close message.
+    All processes are then blocked, and non-one is able to see that
+    there is no more load in the system!
+
+* verify bookkeeping version.
+
+* add several metrics
+  - flops (total, avg, stddev)
+  - message exchanges (number, volume)

 
 

-* fix process::run when load is 0
-   -> wait for a message...
-   -> how does it work with opt::bookkeeping ???
+* add options -j/-J : minimum number of iterations ?
+
+* add a variant to (not) change neighbor load information at send.
+
+* implement loba_* algorithms (start with some trivial one)

 
 

-* implement automatic process topology 
-   (line, ring, star, btree, clique, hypercube, etc..)
+* for automatic process topology,
+   -> implement some random initial distribution of load

 
 

-   use MSG_process_create_with_arguments
-        name            function name (is duped...)
-        code            use MSG_get_registered_function
-        data            NULL
-        argc
-        argv            argv[0] = process_name
+* add synchronized mode

 
 

+* translate README file?
