CS240A Betweenness Centrality References
- Ulrik Brandes,
"A
faster algorithm for betweenness centrality."
This paper gives the efficient O(nv*ne) sequential BC algorithm
that you will parallelize for Homework 4. Spells out lots of
details.
- Kamesh Madduri, David Ediger, Karl Jiang, David A. Bader, and
Daniel Chavarria-Miranda,
"A
faster parallel algorithm and efficient multithreaded implementations for
evaluating betweenness centrality on massive datasets."
The state of the art of massively multithreaded parallel algorithms
for BC. Good introduction and discussion of issues.
- Eric Robinson and Jeremy Kepner,
"Array
based betweenness centrality" (slides).
Slides 7-18 are
a very nice cartoon of one iteration of the outer loop of Brandes's
algorithm. The rest of the talk is about using sparse arrays and
sparse matrix primitives to parallelize BC.
- HPC
Graph Analysis Benchmark.
The official specification for BC as a benchmark to measure TEPS =
traversed edges per second. Includes a C/OpenMP parallel code.
- Charles E. Leiserson and Tao B. Schardl,
"A
work-efficient parallel breadth-first search algorithm.
A good paper on building a custom reducer in Cilk to parallelize
the work in a single BFS.
For Homework 4, you don't have to parallelize the BFS,
but you may if you wish.
