iBFS: Concurrent Breadth-First Search on GPUs. SIGMOD'16

Primary LanguageCudaGNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0


Software requirement

gcc 4.4.7 or 4.8.5

CUDA 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 (tested and works)

MPI: MPICH version 3.3 or higher, corresponding OpenMPI should also work


Hardware

GPU: C2050, C2070, K20, K40 (tested)


Compile

make


Execute

Type: "./gpu_ibfs.bin" it will show you what is needed.

Atention, please make concurrent-count as 128

You could use the code from "tuple_text_to_binary_csr" folder to convert a edge list (text formated) graph into CSR files (binary), e.g., if you have a text file called "test.txt", it will convert it into "test.txt_beg_pos.bin" and "test.txt_csr.bin". You will need these two files to run gpu_ibfs.


Converter: edge tuples to CSR

  • Compile: make
  • To execute: type "./text_to_bin", it will show you what is needed
  • Basically, you could download a tuple list file from snap. Afterwards, you could use this converter to convert the edge list into CSR format.

For example:

  • Download https://snap.stanford.edu/data/com-Orkut.html file. unzip it.
  • ./text_to_bin.bin soc-orkut.mtx 1 2(the number may change due to how many lines are not edges)
  • You will get soc-orkut.mtx_beg_pos.bin and soc-orkut.mtx_csr.bin.
  • You could use these two files to run enterprise.

Applications of iBFS

  • Centrality computation, e.g., Betweenness centrality, Closeness centrality.
  • Multi-source shortest path, All-pairs shortest path.
  • Reachiability index construction.
  • In short, any applications, which need to run multiple traversals on the same graph, should benefit
