Code

Code resides in assign+ branch of the repository, in assign+ folder. There are three files:

• assign+
  • PURPOSE: reads resource requirements and available resources and finds an allocation with minimum interswitch bw use
  • INPUT: two command line arguments ptopfile and topfile. These files are usually produced in the process of resource assignment by assign_wrapper, now called mapper. There are a few other command line options, that should be self-explanatory when you run the code. If you want very verbose output run it with -d.
  • OUTPUT: textual output denoting nodes and links and their assignments that can be passed further to resource allocation
• getptopdetail.pl
  • PURPOSE: parse a ptopfile into something human-readable. Assign+ also uses this output.
  • INPUT: ptopfile
  • OUTPUT: human-readable summary of ptopfile
• gettopdetail.pl
  • PURPOSE: parse a topfile into something human-readable. Assign+ also uses this output.
  • INPUT: ttopfile
  • OUTPUT: human-readable summary of ttopfile
