Constraints

Some vertices of the algorithm graph may be constrained to be executed on a specific operator, in this case the heuristics will not have the choice in distributing them. These constraints are specified through "Software Components". A software component groups operations, all operations of a software component will be distributed on the same operator.

To create a new software component, choose CREATE SOFTWARE COMPONENT in the menu EDIT. To attach a reference to a software component, use the option ATTACH REFERENCE TO SOFTWARE COMPONENT of the contextual menu.

To constraint the references attached to a given software component to be distributed on a specific operator, choose CONSTRAINTS in the menu of the principal window. Then you may impose ABSOLUTE constraints by choosing the corresponding option. This will open a dialog window in order to input the constraints.

To create an absolute constraint in the constraints window, click on an operator in the left list, then click on an operator in the middle and finally click on the CREATE button. This will add the new constraint in the right list.

To delete an absolute constraint, click on a constraint in the right list, then click on the REMOVE button or directly double-click on the constraint. Click on the OK button to confirm your new constraint list, otherwise click on the CANCEL button.
