The shell script "ccd-max" (create core data ) generates all the DIMACS core test data files for max-flow problem in the current directory. It is invoked with one argument as follows: ccd $1 where n=2^($1), is the size of the input which must be a power of two. It assumes that all the generator programs have been compiled in their respective directories in the dimacs directory structure. That is there is a directory netflow/generators/network and the sub-directories for the various generators. Set the variable GENDIR in ccd-max to point to the root of the dimacs tree. For the Network-Width Family Genrmf-Long needs x to be a multiple of 4. If x is not a multiple of 4 then ccd-max chooses the next higher multiple of 4. Similarly for Genrmf-Wide ccd-max chooses the next higher multiple of 5 as x. Here the input size is 2^x. The data files have appropriate names like Genrmf-Long.max etc. Amit Jain
