A Fast Order-Based Approach for Core Maintenance
Graphs have been widely used in many applications such as social networks,
collaboration networks, and biological networks. One important graph analytics
is to explore cohesive subgraphs in a large graph. Among several cohesive
subgraphs studied, k-core is one that can be computed in linear time for a
static graph. Since graphs are evolving in real applications, in this paper, we
study core maintenance which is to reduce the computational cost to compute
k-cores for a graph when graphs are updated from time to time dynamically. We
identify drawbacks of the existing efficient algorithm, which needs a large
search space to find the vertices that need to be updated, and has high
overhead to maintain the index built, when a graph is updated. We propose a new
order-based approach to maintain an order, called k-order, among vertices,
while a graph is updated. Our new algorithm can significantly outperform the
state-of-the-art algorithm up to 3 orders of magnitude for the 11 large real
graphs tested. We report our findings in this paper
Distributed-Memory Breadth-First Search on Massive Graphs
This chapter studies the problem of traversing large graphs using the
breadth-first search order on distributed-memory supercomputers. We consider
both the traditional level-synchronous top-down algorithm as well as the
recently discovered direction optimizing algorithm. We analyze the performance
and scalability trade-offs in using different local data structures such as CSR
and DCSC, enabling in-node multithreading, and graph decompositions such as 1D
and 2D decomposition.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1104.451
