- Type Parameters:
N
- class extending Lop
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Comparator<N>
public class LopComparator<N extends Lop>
extends Object
implements Comparator<N>
Comparator class used in sorting the LopDAG in topological order. Refer to
doTopologicalSort_strict_order() in dml/lops/compile/Dag.java
Topological sort guarantees the following:
1) All lops with level i appear before any lop with level greater than i
(source nodes are at level 0)
2) Within a given level, nodes are ordered by their ID i.e., by the other in
which they are created
compare() method is designed to respect the above two requirements.
