A GPU Algorithm for Greedy Graph Matching

چکیده
Greedy graph matching provides us with a fast way to coarsen a graph during graph partitioning. Direct algorithms on the CPU which perform such greedy matchings are simple and fast, but offer few handholds for parallelisation. To remedy this, we introduce a fine-grained shared-memory parallel algorithm for maximal greedy matching, together with an implementation on the GPU, which is faster (speedups up to 6.8 for random matching and 5.6 for weighted matching) than the serial CPU algorithms and produces matchings of similar (random matching) or better (weighted matching) quality.

Graph coarsening and clustering on the GPU
Agglomerative clustering is an effective greedy way to quickly generate graph clusterings of high modularity in a small amount of time. In an effort to use the power offered by multi-core CPU and GPU hardware to solve the clustering problem, we introduce a fine-grained shared-memory parallel graph coarsening algorithm and use this to implement a parallel agglomerative clustering heuristic on bo...
متن کاملON THE MATCHING NUMBER OF AN UNCERTAIN GRAPH
Uncertain graphs are employed to describe graph models with indeterministicinformation that produced by human beings. This paper aims to study themaximum matching problem in uncertain graphs.The number of edges of a maximum matching in a graph is called matching numberof the graph. Due to the existence of uncertain edges, the matching number of an uncertain graph is essentially an uncertain var...
متن کاملFast GPU Implementation of Sparse Signal Recovery from Random Projections
We consider the problem of sparse signal recovery from a small number of random projections (measurements). This is a well known NP-hard to solve combinatorial optimization problem. A frequently used approach is based on greedy iterative procedures, such as the Matching Pursuit (MP) algorithm. Here, we discuss a fast GPU implementation of the MP algorithm, based on the recently released NVIDIA ...
متن کاملGreedy Online Matching on Random Graphs∗
In the online bipartite matching problem, vertices in one partition are given up front and vertices in the other partition arrive sequentially. When a vertex arrives, it reveals its neighboring edges and it must be immediately matched or left unmatched. We determine asymptotic matching sizes given by a variety of greedy online matching algorithms on random graphs. On G(n, n, p), we show that an...
متن کاملGPU accelerated greedy algorithms for compressed sensing
For appropriate matrix ensembles, greedy algorithms have proven to be an efficient means of solving the combinatorial optimization problem associated with compressed sensing. This paper describes an implementation for graphics processing units (GPU) of hard thresholding, iterative hard thresholding, normalized iterative hard thresholding, hard thresholding pursuit, and a two-stage thresholding ...
