SimGrid is a framework for evaluating algorithms and heuristics in distributed systems through simulation.

[3] It includes tools for prototyping, evaluating, and comparing different platform configurations, system designs, and algorithms.

SimGrid tests and analyzes system behavior by simulating distributed computing environments.

It can analyze scheduling strategies, resource allocation policies, fault tolerance mechanisms, and other aspects of distributed computing.

It can be used to identify bottlenecks and assess system efficiency, as part of performance analysis and optimization work.
