NAME
       dgmap, dgpart - compute static mappings and partitions in parallel

SYNOPSIS
       dgmap [options] [gfile] [tfile] [mfile] [lfile]

       dgpart [options]	[nparts] [gfile] [mfile] [lfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The  dgmap  program  computes, in a parallel way, a static mapping of a
       source graph onto a target graph.

       The dgpart program is a shortcut	of dgmap for computing partitions of a
       source graph.

       Source graph file gfile is either a centralized graph file, or a	set of
       files representing fragments of a distributed  graph.  For  dgmap,  the
       target  architecture  file tfile	describes either algorithmically-coded
       topologies such as meshes and hypercubes, or decomposition-defined  ar-
       chitectures created by means of the amk_grf(1) program. See gmap(1) for
       a  description of target	architectures. The resulting mapping is	stored
       in file mfile. Eventual logging information (such as the	 one  produced
       by option -v) is	sent to	file lfile. When file names are	not specified,
       data  is	read from standard input and written to	standard output. Stan-
       dard streams can	also be	explicitely represented	by a dash '-'.

       When the	proper libraries have been included at compile time, dgmap and
       dgpart can directly handle compressed graphs, both as input and output.
       A stream	is treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed	with a
       compressed file extension, such as in  'brol.grf.bz2'  or  '-.gz'.  The
       compression  formats  which  can	 be  supported	are  the  bzip2	format
       ('.bz2'), the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma',	on in-
       put only).

       dgmap and dgpart	base on	implementations	of the MPI interface to	spread
       work across the processing elements. They are therefore not  likely  to
       be  run	directly,  but	instead	 through some launcher command such as
       mpirun.

OPTIONS
       -copt  Choose default mapping strategy according	to one or several  op-
	      tions among:

	      b	     enforce load balance as much as possible.

	      q	     privilege quality over speed (default).

	      s	     privilege speed over quality.

	      t	     enforce safety.

	      x	     enforce scalability.

       -h     Display some help.

       -mstrat
	      Use parallel mapping strategy strat (see PT-Scotch user's	manual
	      for more information).

       -rpnum Set root process for centralized files (default is 0).

       -V     Display program version and copyright.

       -vverb Set  verbose mode	to verb. It is a set of	one of more characters
	      which can	be:

	      m	     mapping information.

	      s	     strategy information.

	      t	     timing information.

NOTE
       At the time being (version 5.1.0), dgmap	 cannot	 compute  full	static
       mappings	 as  gmap(1) does, but only partitions (that is, mappings onto
       unweighted or weighted complete	graphs).  Target  architectures	 other
       than the	'cmplt'	and 'wcmplt' ones will lead to an error	message.

EXAMPLES
       Run dgpart on 5 processing elements to compute a	partition into 7 parts
       of graph	brol.grf and save the resulting	ordering to file brol.map.

	   $ mpirun -np	5 dgpart 7 brol.grf brol.map

       Run  dgpart on 5	processing elements to partition into 7	parts the dis-
       tributed	 graph	stored	on  graph  fragment   files   brol5-0.dgr   to
       brol5-4.dgr,  and  save	the  resulting	mapping	 to file brol.map (see
       dgscat(1) for an	explanation of the '%p'	and '%r' sequences in names of
       distributed graph fragments).

	   $ mpirun -np	5 dgpart 7 brol%p-%r.dgr brol.map
