Constructor Detail

Program

public Program(String name,
       boolean parallel)

An empty program.

Parameters:

name - A label for the program.

parallel - true iff the steps in the program are parallelizable (this does not imply that they will be executed in parallel, only that they do not have dependencies among the steps and hence are in principle parallelizable).

Program

public Program(String name,
       boolean parallel,
       IQueryOptions queryOptions)

An empty program.

Parameters:

name - A label for the program.

parallel - true iff the steps in the program are parallelizable (this does not imply that they will be executed in parallel, only that they do not have dependencies among the steps and hence are in principle parallelizable).

queryOptions - Options that will be imposed if the iprogram is evaluated as a query.

Program

protected Program(String name,
       boolean parallel,
       boolean closure)

An empty program.

Parameters:

name - A label for the program.

parallel - true iff the steps in the program are parallelizable (this does not imply that they will be executed in parallel, only that they do not have dependencies among the steps and hence are in principle parallelizable).

closure - true iff the steps in the program must be run until a fixed point is achieved.

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: IStep

The name of the program.

Specified by:

getName in interface IStep

isRule

public final boolean isRule()

Description copied from interface: IStep

true iff the step is an IRule and false iff the step is an IProgram.

Specified by:

isRule in interface IStep

isParallel

public boolean isParallel()

Description copied from interface: IProgram

true iff the IProgram.steps() MAY be executed in parallel. When false the steps WILL be executed sequentially and (for mutation) the buffered writes will be flushed after each step.

Note: Sequential execution of a program makes a multi-IRule program MUCH easier to debug as the rules are executed one by one and the buffer is flushed after each rule so you can directly see the #of elements consider by the IRule for each IPredicate in the tail and the #of ISolutions generated by the IRule.

Specified by:

isParallel in interface IProgram

isClosure

public boolean isClosure()

Description copied from interface: IProgram

true iff the fixed point closure of the IProgram should be computed.

Note: Closure is computed in rounds. The rounds continue until the IMutableRelation(s) on which the steps are writing reach a fixed point (no new solutions are added to the relation(s) within a given round). If a program has a fixed point, then the same closure will be obtained by either sequential or parallel execution of the steps within each round and in general parallel execution of the steps is perferred as it has better performance. However, the steps MAY be executed sequentially to facilitate debugging.

Specified by:

isClosure in interface IProgram

getQueryOptions

public IQueryOptions getQueryOptions()

Description copied from interface: IStep

Return additional constraints that must be imposed during query evaluation.

Specified by:

getQueryOptions in interface IStep

stepCount

public int stepCount()

Description copied from interface: IProgram

The #of steps in the program (non-recursive).

Specified by:

stepCount in interface IProgram

steps

public Iterator<IStep> steps()

Description copied from interface: IProgram

The sequence of sub-program ISteps.

Specified by:

steps in interface IProgram

toArray

public IStep[] toArray()

Description copied from interface: IProgram

An array containing the steps in the program (non-recursive).

Specified by:

toArray in interface IProgram

addStep

public void addStep(IStep step)

Add another step in the program.

Parameters:

step - The step.

addSteps

public void addSteps(Iterator<? extends IStep> steps)

Adds the steps to the program.

Parameters:

steps - The steps.

addClosureOf

public void addClosureOf(IRule[] rules)

Adds a sub-program consisting of the fixed point closure of the given rules.

Parameters:

addClosureOf

public void addClosureOf(IRule rule)

Adds a sub-program consisting of the fixed point closure of the given rule.

Parameters:

rule - The rule.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if rule is null.

IllegalStateException - if this program is parallel.

toString

protected StringBuilder toString(int depth)

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: IStep
