Distributed-Memory Breadth-First Search on Massive Graphs.

Author(s): Buluc, A; Beamer, S; Madduri, K; Asanovic, K; Patterson, D | Abstract: 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.
