Running the included algorithms
===============================

Each algorithm builds an executable file, which can be run with
various command line parameters to do different things. Run each
command with option --help to see a summary of the usage information.

In the following, we describe the set of options for the algorithms
that were implemented.


Running the bwt program
=======================

Usage for Binary Welded Tree algorithm:
---------------------------------------

Usage: bwt [OPTION...]
  -h             --help                 print usage info and exit
  -C             --circuit              output the whole circuit (default)
  -O             --oracle               output only the oracle
  -K             --oraclec              output the "classical" oracle as a classical circuit
  -G             --graph                print colored graph computed from oracle
  -S             --simulate             run simulations of some circuit fragments for tree height n
  -f <format>    --format=<format>      output format for circuits (default: preview)
  -g <gatebase>  --gatebase=<gatebase>  type of gates to decompose into (default: logical)
  -o <oracle>                           select oracle to use (default: orthodox)
  -n <n>         --height=<n>           set tree height (positive; default 5)
  -c <c>         --color=<c>            color to use with --oracle (0..3, default 0)
  -s <s>         --repeats=<s>          set parameter s (iteration count; default 1)
  -l             --large                set large problem size: n=300, s=336960
  -t <dt>        --dt=<dt>              set parameter dt (simulation time step; default pi/180)
Possible values for format are: eps, pdf, ps, postscript, ascii, preview, gatecount.
Possible values for gatebase are: logical, binary, toffoli, cliffordt_old, cliffordt, cliffordt_keepphase, standard, strict, approximate, approximate_keepphase, exact, trimcontrols.
Possible values for oracle are: orthodox, simple, blackbox, classical, template, optimized.

Examples of command line options:
---------------------------------

* Show the complete circuit for the BWT algorithm using the
  "orthodox" (official GFI) oracle, with n=5 and s=1:

  ./bwt -C -o orthodox -n 5 -s 1

  (One can point out the different parts of the algorithm: 8 oracle
  calls, and 4 very short diffusion steps).

* Show the same, using the "Template Haskell" oracle: this oracle is
  much larger, but automatically generated from classical code (and
  completely unoptimized):

  ./bwt -C -o template -n 5 -s 1

  The "template oracle" is defined in BWT/Template.hs. See the
  documentation of the module Quipper/CircLifting for how it works.

* Show the graph of the BWT algorithm, which is obtained by
  simulating the orthodox oracle (and therefore offers some evidence
  for the correctness of the oracle implementation):

  ./bwt -G -o orthodox -n 5

* Show the orthodox oracle for n=300. Note that this will result in a
  big file. One has to zoom in substantially to see gates. 

  ./bwt -O -o orthodox -n 300

* Show the complete circuit for the BWT algorithm, but decompose
  everything into binary gates:

  ./bwt -C -o orthodox -n 5 -s 1 -g binary 

* Show the oracle from Figure 1a (alternate oracle).

  ./bwt -C -o figure1a

* The same, decomposed into binary+Toffoli gates, or binary gates
  only, respectively:

  ./bwt -C -o figure1a -g toffoli
  ./bwt -C -o figure1a -g binary

* Show gate counts for BWT algorithm with n=300 and s=1, using
  "orthodox" oracle:

  ./bwt -C -o orthodox -n 300 -s 1 -f gatecount

* Show gate counts for same, after decomposition to binary gates:

  ./bwt -C -o orthodox -n 300 -s 1 -f gatecount -g binary 

Obviously, most other combinations of command line options are also
possible, for example: decompose to toffoli gates and then simulate
and show the graph. Some other combinations are not legal: for
example, decomposing to binary gates and then simulating. (The
classical simulator will complain that the circuit is not boolean; it
contains "V" gates).

* Similarly, one can run demos for the triangle finding
  algorithm using various command line options. 

Note that the triangle finding algorithm is not a deliverable; it is a
work in progress. The only implemented algorithm that is officially a
deliverable is the "orthodox" BWT implementation in BWT.BWT.
