NAME

       simgrid_update_xml - updates simgrid XML files to latest version

SYNOPSIS

       simgrid_update_xml xml_file

DESCRIPTION

       simgrid_update_xml updates the simgrid XML file passed as argument.  The file is modified in place,
       without any kind of backup. You may want to save a copy before running the script.

       In SimGrid XML files, the standard version is indicated in the version attribute of the platform tag.
       Current version is 3. Here is a list of major changes in each version.

       Version 0: Used before SimGrid 3.3
       Version 1: Introduced in SimGrid 3.3
           •   The version attribute of platform were added to allow file versionning.

           •   The  link  bandwidth  changed  from  Mb/s  to b/s; and the CPU power were changed from MFlop/s to
               Flop/s

       Version 2: Introduced in SimGrid 3.4
           •   Several tags were renamed:

                 CPU -> HOST
                 NETWORK_LINK -> LINK
                 ROUTE_ELEMENT ->  LINK_CTN
                 PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION -> PLATFORM

       Version 3: Introduced in SimGrid 3.5 (this is the current version)
           •   The AS tag were introduced. Every plaform should now contain an englobing AS tag.

           •   Routes are now symmetric by default.

           •   Several tags were renamed (for sake of XML sanity):

                 LINK:CTN -> LINK_CTN
                 TRACE:CONNECT -> TRACE_CONNECT
