✨ NAME ✨

acpl - compile a target architectures 🌸

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

acpl [options] [itfile] [otfile]

💭 DESCRIPTION 💭

Okay so acpl takes a decomposition-defined target architecture file, itfile, that's in the 'deco 0' type and compiles it into a compiled decomposition-defined target architecture of type 'deco 1', which gets stored in the file otfile 💅

Compiling a decomposition-defined architecture is basically computing the distance matrix of all possible subdomains, starting from the distance matrix of all terminal subdomains that you hand over in the 'deco 0' format. 🧚 Here's the tea: that computation happens every single time a 'deco 0' format gets read, and it's quadratic in time. So pre-compiling with acpl can save some time if you keep computing mappings on a big decomposition-defined 'deco 0' target architecture 😭

If the proper libraries were included at compile time, acpl can handle compressed files directly, for both input and output 🌈 A stream counts as compressed whenever its name ends in a compressed file extension, like 'brol.tgt.bz2' or '-.gz'. The formats it supports are bzip2 ('.bz2'), gzip ('.gz'), and lzma ('.lzma') 🦋

Decomposition-defined target architecture files are quadratic in size with respect to the number of target vertices, thanks to those distance matrix structures 🙃 So using compressed files to store them may save a lot of space, especially for the compiled target architecture files 💜

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Let's make a compiled cube-connected-cycle target architecture of dimension 4 and save it in gzip(1) format to the file 'ccc4c.tgt.gz' 🧚 The dash '-' standard file name lets the 'deco 0' target architecture description from amk_ccc(1) get read from standard input, through the pipe. It's so smooth 🫧

$ amk_ccc 4 | acpl - ccc4c.tgt.gz
