Apart from the native C + interface, SimGrid provides bindings for the C++, Java, Lua and Ruby programming + languages. SMPI is the interface that has been used for the work described in + this paper. The SMPI interface implements about \np[\%]{80} of the MPI 2.0 + standard~\cite{bedaride+degomme+genaud+al.2013.toward}, and supports + applications written in C or Fortran, with little or no modifications (cf Section IV - paragraph B). + + Within SimGrid, the execution of a distributed application is simulated by a + single process. The application code is really executed, but some operations, + like communications, are intercepted, and their running time is computed + according to the characteristics of the simulated execution platform. The + description of this target platform is given as an input for the execution, by + means of an XML file. It describes the properties of the platform, such as + the computing nodes with their computing power, the interconnection links with + their bandwidth and latency, and the routing strategy. The scheduling of the + simulated processes, as well as the simulated running time of the application + are computed according to these properties. + + To compute the durations of the operations in the simulated world, and to take + into account resource sharing (e.g. bandwidth sharing between competing + communications), SimGrid uses a fluid model. This allows users to run relatively fast + simulations, while still keeping accurate + results~\cite{bedaride+degomme+genaud+al.2013.toward, + velho+schnorr+casanova+al.2013.validity}. Moreover, depending on the + simulated application, SimGrid/SMPI allows to skip long lasting computations and + to only take their duration into account. When the real computations cannot be + skipped, but the results are unimportant for the simulation results, it is + also possible to share dynamically allocated data structures between + several simulated processes, and thus to reduce the whole memory consumption. + These two techniques can help to run simulations on a very large scale. + + The validity of simulations with SimGrid has been asserted by several studies. + See, for example, \cite{velho+schnorr+casanova+al.2013.validity} and articles + referenced therein for the validity of the network models. Comparisons between + real execution of MPI applications on the one hand, and their simulation with + SMPI on the other hand, are presented in~\cite{guermouche+renard.2010.first, + clauss+stillwell+genaud+al.2011.single, + bedaride+degomme+genaud+al.2013.toward}. All these works conclude that + SimGrid is able to simulate pretty accurately the real behavior of the + applications. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Two-stage multisplitting methods} @@@ -526,7 -573,8 +579,8 @@@ architectures and scaling up the input Input matrix size & N$_{x}$ x N$_{y}$ x N$_{z}$ =150 x 150 x 150\\ %\hline - & N$_{x}$ x N$_{y}$ x N$_{z}$ =170 x 170 x 170 \\ \hline \end{tabular} - \caption{Test conditions: various grid configurations with the input matix size N$_{x}$=150 or N$_{x}$=170 \RC{N2 n'est pas défini..}\RC{Nx est défini, Ny?
