LopComparator (Apache SystemDS 3.1.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.sysds.lops.compile.LopComparator<N>

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.
