Sudoku sample

This directory contains an example that finds all solutions to a Sudoku board.

It uses a straightforward state-space search algorithm that exhibits OR-parallelism. It can be optionally run until it obtains just the first solution. The point of the example is to teach how to use the task_group interface.

Building the example

cmake <path_to_example>
cmake --build .

Running the sample

Predefined make targets

• make run_sudoku - executes the example with predefined parameters.
• make perf_run_sudoku - executes the example with suggested parameters to measure the oneTBB performance.
• make benchmark_sudoku - executes the example with suggested parameters to repeat performance measurements several times and report their relative error.
• make benchmark_sudoku_data - same as benchmark_sudoku saving results into benchmark_sudoku_data.csv file.

Application parameters

Usage:

sudoku [n-of-threads=value] [filename=value] [verbose] [silent] [find-one] [-h] [n-of-threads [filename]]

• -h - prints the help for command line options.
• n-of-threads - the number of threads to use; a range of the form low[:high], where low and optional high are non-negative integers or auto for a platform-specific default number.
• filename - the input filename.
• n-of-repeats - the number of repeats to find the same solution; when it is greater than 1 then relative error will be calculated for the repeats.
• verbose - prints the first solution.
• silent - no output except elapsed time and relative errors.
• find-one - stops after finding first solution.

The example's directory contains following files that may be used as an input file: input1 - Sample input file with modest number of solutions. input2 - Sample input file with small number of solutions. input3 - Sample input file with larger number of solutions. input4 - Sample input file with very large number of solutions.
