Cyberinfrastructure Simulation Workbench
WRENCH is an open-source library that provides high-level simulation abstractions that serve as building blocks for developing custom simulators of distributed computing systems, platforms, and applications.

WRENCH is fully developed in C++. The code follows the C++17 standard, and thus older compilers tend to fail the compilation process. Therefore, we strongly recommend users to satisfy the following requirements:
- CMake - version 3.10 or higher
And, one of the following:
- g++ - version 7.5 or higher
- clang - version 9.0 or higher
- SimGrid - version 3.36
- JSON for Modern C++ - version 3.11.0 or higher
- Google Test - version 1.8 or higher (only required for running test cases)
- Doxygen - version 1.8 or higher (only required for generating documentation)
- Sphinx - version 4.5 or higher along with the following Python packages:
pip3 install sphinx-rtd-theme breathe recommonmark
(only required for generating documentation) - Batsched - version 1.4 - useful for expanded batch-scheduled resource simulation capabilities
- Asio - necessary only for building
wrench-daemon
If all dependencies are installed, compiling and installing WRENCH is as simple as running:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
For enabling the use of Batsched:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DENABLE_BATSCHED=on ..
make
sudo make install
To use a non-standard SimGrid installation path:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DSimGrid_PATH=/my/simgrid/path/ ..
make
sudo make install
The main channel to reach the WRENCH team is via the support email: support@wrench-project.org.
Bug Report / Feature Request: our preferred channel to report a bug or request a feature is via
WRENCH's Github Issues Track.
When citing WRENCH, please use the following paper. You should also actually read that paper, as it provides a recent and general overview on the framework.
