DV8 Console Commands - Clustering Operation Commands

Clustering Operation Commands

The following commands allow users to manipulate DSM matrices, including:

Cluster a DSM based on namespace or package structure
Cluster a DSM into a Design Rule Hierarchy
Cluster a DSM into a lower-triangle form

Cluster a DSM Based on Namespace or Package Structure

This command computes the namespace cluster for a dependency matrix.

Usage

dv8-console core:namespace-cluster [-h] [-outputFile <OUTPUTFILE>] INPUT_FILE

Input

The input is a DSM file (*.dv8-dsm) generated by DV8.

Options

outputFile: The output clustering file to create (*.dv8-clsx). Defaults to the same filename as the input dependency matrix file in the current working folder.

Example

dv8-console core:namespace-cluster -outputFile clustering.dv8-clsx structure-dsm.dv8-dsm

Cluster a DSM into a Design Rule Hierarchy

This command computes the design rule hierarchy for a dependency matrix.

Usage

dv8-console dr-hier:dr-hier [-h] [-maxDepth <INTEGER>] [-modules] [-outputFile <OUTPUTFILE>] [-recursive] INPUT_FILE

Input

The input is a DSM file (*.dv8-dsm) generated by DV8.

Options

maxDepth: Recursion depth limit.

modules: Merge modules following the same set of design rules if switched on.

outputFile: The output clustering file to create (*.dv8-clsx). Defaults to the same filename as the input dependency matrix file in the current working folder.

recursive: Use the recursive algorithm if switched on.

Example

dv8-console dr-hier:dr-hier -outputFile clustering.dv8-clsx structure-dsm.dv8-dsm
