plugin structure for planner #38

Closed andre-merzky closed 10 years ago

andre-merzky commented 10 years ago

At the moment, the planner has a single plugin which hosts two algorithsm: derive_overlay, which inspects a WL and derives an overlay description, and expand_workload, which can transform the workload to some unspecied rules. As an example, the workload may contain cardinality information for tasks, and the expand_workload could expand that to a certain number of tasks.

The latter algorithm is not well defined and scoped, I think -- it is more a placeholder for workload specific transformations. That might suffice to justify its existance? Either way, I think this functionality would be better placed on the workload manager, even if this expansion step can happen before the planner derives the overlay description.

If we keep it in the planner, I would like to split that into two plugins at least, because the functionalities are unrelated.

This has been split into two plugins.
