6 dgtst - test the consistency of source graphs in parallel
7
9 dgtst [options] [gfile] [lfile]
10
12 The dgtst program checks, in a parallel way, the consistency of a
13 Scotch source graph and, in case of success, outputs some statistics
14 regarding edge weights, vertex weights, and vertex degrees.
15
16 It produces the very same results as the gtst(1) program of the Scotch
17 sequential distribution, but unlike this latter it can handle distrib‐
18 uted graphs.
19
20 Source graph file gfile is either a centralized graph file, or a set of
21 files representing fragments of a distributed graph. The resulting sta‐
22 tistics are stored in file lfile. When file names are not specified,
23 data is read from standard input and written to standard output. Stan‐
24 dard streams can also be explicitly represented by a dash '-'.
25
26 When the proper libraries have been included at compile time, dgtst can
27 directly handle compressed graphs, both as input and output. A stream
28 is treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed with a com‐
29 pressed file extension, such as in 'brol.grf.bz2' or '-.gz'. The com‐
30 pression formats which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'),
31 the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma', on input only).
32
33 dgtst bases on implementations of the MPI interface to spread work
34 across the processing elements. It is therefore not likely to be run
35 directly, but instead through some launcher command such as mpirun.

38 -h Display some help.

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

42 -V Display program version and copyright.

45 Run dgtst on 5 processing elements to test the consistency of graph
46 brol.grf
47
48 $ mpirun -np 5 dgtst brol.grf
49
50 Run dgord on 5 processing elements to test the consistency of a dis‐
51 tributed graph stored on graph fragment files brol5-0.dgr to
52 brol5-4.dgr, and save the resulting ordering to file brol.ord (see
53 dgscat(1) for an explanation of the '%p' and '%r' sequences in names of
54 distributed graph fragments).
