graml implements heuristics and other methods for graph coloring.
This project contains a library as well as a binary application making use of the library.
Install Rust from the Rust website
Clone the repository and execute
cargo build --release
To see a comparison between different coloring methods on random graphs, run
cargo run --release
For evaluating the methods on specific graphs, simply provide them to the binary like this
cargo run --release -- /path/to/graph.col
or this
cargo run --release -- /path/to/dir/of/graphs
to run an evaluation on all the graphs in the directory.
The graphs have to be provided in the DIMACS .col format. See the documentation
for load_graph for more details. Some compatible graphs can be found
here.
To view documentation of the library, execute
cargo doc --open
A comprehensive test set is provided. If a new graph implementation is added, consider
adding it to the test suite in src/graph/mod.rs. To run the tests, execute
cargo test --release
To see a performance comparison between the different coloring methods as well as graph implementations, execute
cargo bench
and navigate your browser to target/criterion/report/index.html.
