Here is the hierarchical view of all SimGrid modules. You can reduce the amount of detail with the 'detail level' setting, on the right.

[detail level 1234]

▼MSG	Simple programming environment
Main MSG simulation Functions	Describes how to setup and control your simulation
Process Management Functions	This section describes the process structure of MSG (msg_process_t) and the functions for managing it

Mailbox Management Functions	This section describes the mailbox structure of MSG (msg_mailbox_t) and the functions for managing it
Task Actions	This section describes the functions that can be used by a process to execute, communicate or otherwise handle some task
Explicit Synchronization Functions	This section describes several explicit synchronization mechanisms existing in MSG: semaphores (msg_sem_t) and friends

MSG examples
▼XBT	The core toolbox of SimGrid, containing usefull datatypes and friends
▼Grounding features	Grounding features are the basement of SimGrid
Malloc and friends	Malloc and associated functions, killing the program on error (with Exception support)
String related functions	String manipulation functions
Exception support	A set of macros providing exception a la C++ in ANSI C (grounding feature)
►Logging support	A generic logging facility in the spirit of log4j (grounding feature)
Existing log categories	(automatically extracted)
Assert macro familly	Those are the SimGrid version of the good ol' assert macro
►Configuration support	Changing the configuration of SimGrid components (grounding feature)
User interface: changing values	This is the only interface you should use unless you want to let your own code become configurable with this
Configuration type declaration and memory management
Registering stuff	This how to add new variables to an existing configuration set
Getting the stored values	This is how to retrieve the values stored in the configuration set
►Mallocators	The mallocator system
Mallocator constructor and destructor
Mallocator object handling
Unit testing support	Unit testing implementation (see Adding unit tests)
▼Usual data structures	Here are the basic data containers that every C programmer rewrites one day
►Dynar: generic dynamic array	DynArr are dynamically sized vector which may contain any type of variables
Dynar constructor and destructor
Dynar as a regular array
Dynar miscellaneous functions
Perl-like use of dynars
Direct manipulation to the dynars content	Those functions do not retrieve the content, but only their address
Speed optimized access to dynars of scalars	While the other functions use a memcpy to retrieve the content into the user provided area, those ones use a regular affectation
Cursors on dynar	Cursors are used to iterate over the structure
►Dict: generic dictionnary	The dictionary data structure (comparable to hash tables)
Dict constructor and destructor
Dictionaries basic usage	Careful, those functions assume that the key is null-terminated
Dictionaries with non-nul terminated keys	Those functions work even with non-null terminated keys
Cursors on dictionaries	Don't get impressed, there is a lot of functions here, but traversing a dictionary is immediate with the xbt_dict_foreach macro.
Set: generic set datatype
►Fifo: generic workqueue	This section describes the API to generic workqueue
Fifo constructor and destructor
Fifo perl-like functions
Direct access to fifo elements
Misc fifo functions
►Swag: O(1) set datatype	O(1) set based on linked lists
Swag types	Specific set
SWAG functions
Swag cursor	Iterates over the whole swag
Heap: generic heap data structure	This section describes the API to generic heap with O(log(n)) access
Data description
▼Misc general purposes library components	Here are several general purposes library components designed specially for you, you lucky one
General purpose graph library	A graph data type with several interesting algorithms
Parallel map	Parallel map
Peer
Queue
Sock
Synchro stuff	XBT synchronization tools
Thread stuff	Thread portability layer
Portable context implementation	Contexts are a higher level system than `setjump/longjmp` for non-preemptible threads
Replay
▼TRACE	Tracing mechanism and its functions
Tracing categories	Functions to declare tracing categories
Tracing marks	Functions to declare and create tracing marks
Tracing user variables	Functions to declare and define user variables associated to resources
