SYNOPSIS
ptscotch_dgtst [options] [gfile] [lfile]
DESCRIPTION
The ptscotch_dgtst program checks, in a parallel way, the consistency of a source graph, and outputs some statistics regarding edge weights, vertex weights, and vertex degrees in case of success.It produces the very same results as the gtst(1) program of the Scotch sequential distribution, but unlike this latter it can handle distributed graphs.
Source graph file gfile is either a centralized graph file, or a set of files representing fragments of a distributed graph. The resulting statistics are stored in file lfile. When file names are not specified, data is read from standard input and written to standard output. Standard streams can also be explicitly represented by a dash '-'.
When the proper libraries have been included at compile time, ptscotch_dgtst can directly handle compressed graphs, both as input and output. A stream is treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed with a compressed file extension, such as in 'brol.grf.bz2' or '-.gz'. The compression formats which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'), the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma', on input only).
ptscotch_dgtst bases on implementations of the MPI interface to spread work across the processing elements. It is therefore not likely to be run directly, but instead through some launcher command such as mpirun.

EXAMPLE
Run ptscotch_dgtst on 5 processing elements to test the consistency of graph brol.grf
$ mpirun -np 5 ptscotch_dgtst brol.grf
Run dgord on 5 processing elements to test the consistency of a
distributed graph stored on graph fragment files brol5-0.grf to
brol5-4.grf, and save the resulting ordering to file brol.ord (see
dgscat(1) for an explanation of the '%p' and '%r' sequences in names
of distributed graph fragments).
$ mpirun -np 5 ptscotch_dgtst brol%p-%r.grf brol.ord
