NAME
       gmap, gpart - compute static mappings and partitions sequentially

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

       gpart [options] [nparts]	[gfile]	[mfile]	[lfile]

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

       The gpart program is a shortcut of gmap for computing unweighted	parti-
       tions of	a source graph.

       Source graph file gfile can only	be a centralized graph file. For gmap,
       the target architecture file tfile  describes  either  algorithmically-
       coded  topologies  such	as meshes and hypercubes, or decomposition-de-
       fined architectures created by means of the amk_grf(1) program. The re-
       sulting 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. Standard streams can also	be explicitely
       represented by a	dash '-'.

       When the	proper libraries have been included at compile time, gmap  and
       gpart  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).

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.

       -h     Display some help.

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

       -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.

TARGET ARCHITECTURES
       Target  architectures  represent	 graphs	 onto  which source graphs are
       mapped. In order	to speed-up  the  obtainment  of  target  architecture
       topological properties during the computation of	mappings, some classi-
       cal  topologies are algorithmically coded into the mapper itself. These
       topologies are consequently simply defined by their code	name, followed
       by their	dimensional parameters:

       cmplt dim
	      unweighted complete graph	of size	dim.

       cmpltw dim w0 w1	... wdim-1
	      weighted complete	graph of size size and of respective loads w0,
	      w1, ..., wdim-1.

       hcub dim
	      hypercube	of dimension dim.

       leaf hgt	n0 w0 ... nhgt-1 whgt-1
	      tree-leaf	graph of height	 hgt  with  (n0	 times	n1  times  ...
	      nhgt-1) vertices,	with inter-cluster link	weights	of w0, w1, ...
	      whgt-1.

       mesh2D dimX dimY
	      2D mesh of dimX times dimY nodes.

       mesh3D dimX dimY	dimZ
	      23 mesh of dimX times dimY times dimZ nodes.

       torus2D dimX dimY
	      2D torus of dimX times dimY nodes.

       torus3D dimX dimY dimZ
	      3D torus of dimX times dimY times	dimZ nodes.

       Other target topologies can be created from their source	graph descrip-
       tion by using the amk_grf(1) command. In	this case, the target descrip-
       tion will begin with the	code name deco.

MAPPINGS
       Mappings	 are represented by as many lines as there are vertices	in the
       source graph. Each of these lines is made of two	figures: the number of
       the vertex (or its label	if source graph	vertices are labeled) and  the
       index of	the target vertex to which it has been assigned. Target	vertex
       indices	range from 0 to	the number of vertices in the target architec-
       ture (that is, the number of parts) minus one.

       This block of lines is always preceded by the number of such lines.  In
       most  cases,  since full	mappings are requested,	the number of lines is
       equal to	the number of vertices in the source graph.

EXAMPLES
       Run gpart to compute a partition	into 7 parts of	graph  'brol.grf'  and
       save the	resulting ordering to file 'brol.map'.

	   $ gpart 7 brol.grf brol.map

       Run  gmap to compute a partition, into 3	parts of respective weights 1,
       2 and 4,	of graph 'brol.grf' and	save the  resulting  mapping  to  file
       'brol.map'.  The	dash '-' standard file name is used so that the	target
       architecture description	is read	from the standard input,  through  the
       pipe, as	provided by the	'echo' shell command.

	   $ echo "cmpltw 3 1 2	4" | gmap brol.grf - brol.map
