    33The BOINC client simulator simulates the CPU scheduling and work-fetch policies of the BOINC client. It uses the same source code as the core client for these policies. You can use the simulator in either of two ways:
    4  * Through a [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/sim_form.php web interface]. This lets you do one simulation at a time, and shows you results graphically.
    5  * Compile it your self. This provides a more flexible, but less convenient, interface.

    102 '''sim_log.txt''': This is the message log (same as would be generated by the client). Its contents are controlled by cc_config.xml.
     102'''sim_log.txt''': This is the message log (same as would be generated by the client). Its contents are controlled by [#input_cc_config cc_config.xml].
    103103
    104104'''sim_out.html''': When viewed in a web browser, a 'time line' showing what's running when.
