       The amk_* programs create target architecture files for some common, regular topologies.

       amk_ccc creates a decomposition-defined cube-connected-cycle topology of dimension dim. The decomposition
       is  performed  first  by  bisection along the dimensions of the hypercube, then along the remaining cycle
       graphs.

       amk_fft2  creates  a  decomposition-defined  fast-Fourier-transform  topology  of  dimension   dim.   The
       decomposition  is performed by recursive bisection of the vertices, by descending dimension (that is, bit
       number in the labeling of the vertices).

       amk_hy creates a  decomposition-defined  hypercube  topology  of  dimension  dim.  The  decomposition  is
       performed  by  recursive  bisection  of the vertices, by descending dimension (that is, bit number in the
       labeling of the vertices). Save  for  experimentation  purposes,  this  program  is  deprecated,  as  the
       algorithmically-defined  'hcub'  target  architecture is a more convenient and efficient way to represent
       hypercube architectures.

       amk_m2 creates a decomposition-defined 2D  regular  grid  topology  of  dimensions  dimX  and  dimY.  The
       decomposition  is  performed  by  recursive splitting along the dimensions, either by cutting the longest
       one, or by one-way dissection, depending on the '-m' option flag. Save for experimentation purposes, this
       program is deprecated, as the algorithmically-defined 'mesh2D' and 'mesh3D' target  architectures  are  a
       more convenient and efficient way to represent 2D and 3D grid architectures.

       amk_p2  creates  a  weighted path graph topology comprising only two vertices of weights wght0 and wght1.
       This is just a helper program, which builds a 'wcmplt' algorithmically-defined complete  graph  with  two
       vertices. It may be used to compute weighted bisections of a graph.

       When  the  proper  libraries  have  been included at compile time, the amk_* programs can directly handle
       compressed files, 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.tgt.bz2' or '-.gz'. The compression formats
       which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'), the  gzip  format  ('.gz'),  and  the  lzma  format
       ('.lzma').

       Create a cube-connected-cycle target architecture of dimension 4, and save it to file 'ccc4.tgt'.

           $ amk_ccc 4 ccc4.tgt

       Run  gmap  to  compute a bisection, into two parts of respective weights 3 and 5, of graph 'brol.grf' and
       save the resulting mapping to file 'brol.map'. The dash '-' standard file name is used so that the target
       architecture description is read from the standard input, through the pipe.

           $ amk_p2 3 5 | gmap brol.grf - brol.map

-mmeth For amk_m2 only. Perform either recursive dissection or one-way dissection, according to the given
              method flag:

              n      perform nested dissection (default).

              o      perform one-way dissection (cut across Y, then X).

       -h     Display some help.

       -V     Display program version and copyright.
