All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configurable, org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool

public class DistributedPentomino
extends org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configured
implements org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool

Launch a distributed pentomino solver. It generates a complete list of prefixes of length N with each unique prefix as a separate line. A prefix is a sequence of N integers that denote the index of the row that is chosen for each column in order. Note that the next column is heuristically chosen by the solver, so it is dependant on the previous choice. That file is given as the input to map/reduce. The output key/value are the move prefix/solution as Text/Text.

Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Launch the solver on 9x10 board and the one sided pentominos. This takes about 2.5 hours on 20 nodes with 2 cpus/node. Splits the job into 2000 maps and 1 reduce.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

run

public int run(java.lang.String[] args)
        throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

run in interface org.apache.hadoop.util.Tool

Throws:
