Estimating Reachability Set Sizes in Dynamic GraphsAji, Sudarshan Mandayam 01 July 2014 (has links)
Graphs are a commonly used abstraction for diverse kinds of interactions, e.g., on Twitter and Facebook. Different kinds of topological properties of such graphs are computed for gaining insights into their structure. Computing properties of large real networks is computationally very challenging. Further, most real world networks are dynamic, i.e., they change over time. Therefore there is a need for efficient dynamic algorithms that offer good space-time trade-offs. In this thesis we study the problem of computing the reachability set size of a vertex, which is a fundamental problem, with applications in databases and social networks. We develop the first Giraph based algorithms for different dynamic versions of these problems, which scale to graphs with millions of edges. / Master of Science

Large Scale Graph Processing in a Distributed EnvironmentUpadhyay, Nitesh January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Graph algorithms are ubiquitously used across domains. They exhibit parallelism, which can be exploited on parallel architectures, such as multi-core processors and accelerators. However, real world graphs are massive in size and cannot fit into the memory of a single machine. Such large graphs are partitioned and processed in a distributed cluster environment which consists of multiple GPUs and CPUs.
Existing frameworks that facilitate large scale graph processing in the distributed cluster have their own style of programming and require extensive involvement by the user in communication and synchronization aspects. Adaptation of these frameworks appears to be an overhead for a programmer. Furthermore, these frameworks have been developed to target only CPU clusters and lack the ability to harness the GPU architecture.
We provide a back-end framework to the graph Domain Specific Language, Falcon, for large scale graph processing on CPU and GPU clusters. The Motivation behind choosing this DSL as a front-end is its shared-memory based imperative programmability feature. Our framework generates Giraph code for CPU clusters. Giraph code runs on the Hadoop cluster and is known for scalable and fault-tolerant graph processing. For GPU cluster, Our framework applies a set of optimizations to reduce computation and communication latency, and generates efficient CUDA code coupled with MPI.
Experimental evaluations show the scalability and performance of our framework for both CPU and GPU clusters. The performance of the framework generated code is comparable to the manual implementations of various algorithms in distributed environments.
