WRENCH is a simulation framework for building simulators of Cyberinfrastructure platforms, systems, and applications. WRENCH implements high-level simulation abstractions on top of the SimGrid simulation framework, so as to make it possible to build simulators that are accurate, that can run scalably on a single computer, and that can be implemented with minimal software development effort.
This release includes:
- Implementation of
CustomEventandCustomMessageclasses so that Controllers can trigger an event in another controller, which opens up new simulator design possibilities and is already used in two simulators out there. - Minor bug fixes and code/documentation cleanups.
Note: WRENCH 2.8 requires SimGrid 4.1 and SimGrid FSMod 0.4
