RSG is (will be) a simple solution to execute your distributed application on top of SimGrid. You just have to reimplement the little class abstracting every network interactions that you have down below in your code architecture. This is easy with the RSG client API.
Then, the RSG server can start your (real) application on top of a (simulated) platform, enabling you to use the full power of SimGrid as a perfect testbench for your application.
Enjoy reproducibility, clairvoyance and simplicity while testing your distributed application or infrastructure !
SimGrid is a strong and mature framework to study distributed algorithms or applications. Remote SimGrid is usable but still lacking some features. The thing is that we are currently rewriting SimGrid (since 2015) to make the S4U interface happen. Once this is done, we will come back to the Remote SimGrid project. It may still work for you in the meanwhile, who knows.

Remote SimGrid is packaged in the Kapack Nix repository.
- Install Nix (instructions on Nix's website)
- Install Remote SimGrid.
- Last release:
nix-env -f https://github.com/oar-team/kapack/archive/master.tar.gz -iA remote_simgrid - Last commit:
nix-env -f https://github.com/oar-team/kapack/archive/master.tar.gz -iA remote_simgrid_dev
- Last release:
- Install Thrift (version 0.11.0)
wget http://apache.lauf-forum.at/thrift/0.11.0/thrift-0.11.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf thrift-0.11.0.tar.gz
cd thrift-0.11.0
./configure
make
[sudo] make install-
If you want to run the tests, thrift have to be compiled with extra compilers flags :
wget http://apache.lauf-forum.at/thrift/0.11.0/thrift-0.11.0.tar.gz tar -xvf thrift-0.11.0.tar.gz cd thrift-0.11.0 export CXXFLAGS="-DTHRIFT_SQUELCH_CONSOLE_OUTPUT" && export CFLAGS="-DTHRIFT_SQUELCH_CONSOLE_OUTPUT" && ./configure make [sudo] make install
- Install [zeromq](http://zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software)
```bash
wget https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/releases/download/v4.2.0/zeromq-4.2.0.tar.gz
tar xvf zeromq-4.2.0.tar.gz
(cd zeromq-4.2.0.tar && ./configure && make install) #You may need to be logged with root privileges.
# Once zeromq is installed, you need to get the c++ binding.
git clone https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq
(cd cppzmq && mv cp *.hpp /usr/local/include/)
- Install a modern version of SimGrid (preferably the git version).
# Clone SimGrid
git clone https://github.com/simgrid/simgrid.git --depth 1
cd simgrid# Configure it
cmake -Denable_documentation=OFF -Denable_smpi=off -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/simgrid .
# Build and install it into /opt (change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to install elsewhere)
make install- And then compile Remote SimGrid:
cmake -DSimGrid_PATH=/opt/simgrid -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/rsg .
makeThere is no way to properly install the soft yet :(
