A Fast and Scalable Graph Coloring Algorithm for Multi-Core and Many-Core Architectures
A Fast and Scalable Graph Coloring Algorithm for Multi-core and Many-core Architectures Georgios Rokos1, Gerard Gorman2, and Paul H J Kelly1 1 Software Peroformance Optimisation Group, Department of Computing 2 Applied Modelling and Computation Group, Department of Earth Science and Engineering Imperial College London, South Kensington Campus, London SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom, fgeorgios.rokos09,g.gorman,[email protected] Abstract. Irregular computations on unstructured data are an impor- tant class of problems for parallel programming. Graph coloring is often an important preprocessing step, e.g. as a way to perform dependency analysis for safe parallel execution. The total run time of a coloring algo- rithm adds to the overall parallel overhead of the application whereas the number of colors used determines the amount of exposed parallelism. A fast and scalable coloring algorithm using as few colors as possible is vi- tal for the overall parallel performance and scalability of many irregular applications that depend upon runtime dependency analysis. C¸ataly¨ureket al. have proposed a graph coloring algorithm which relies on speculative, local assignment of colors. In this paper we present an improved version which runs even more optimistically with less thread synchronization and reduced number of conflicts compared to C¸ataly¨urek et al.'s algorithm. We show that the new technique scales better on multi- core and many-core systems and performs up to 1.5x faster than its pre- decessor on graphs with high-degree vertices, while keeping the number of colors at the same near-optimal levels.

I?'!'-Comparability Graphs
Discrete Mathematics 74 (1989) 173-200 173 North-Holland I?‘!‘-COMPARABILITYGRAPHS C.T. HOANG Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903, U.S.A. and B.A. REED Discrete Mathematics Group, Bell Communications Research, Morristown, NJ 07950, U.S.A. In 1981, Chv&tal defined the class of perfectly orderable graphs. This class of perfect graphs contains the comparability graphs. In this paper, we introduce a new class of perfectly orderable graphs, the &comparability graphs. This class generalizes comparability graphs in a natural way. We also prove a decomposition theorem which leads to a structural characteriza- tion of &comparability graphs. Using this characterization, we develop a polynomial-time recognition algorithm and polynomial-time algorithms for the clique and colouring problems for &comparability graphs. 1. Introduction A natural way to color the vertices of a graph is to put them in some order v*cv~<” l < v, and then assign colors in the following manner: (1) Consider the vertxes sequentially (in the sequence given by the order) (2) Assign to each Vi the smallest color (positive integer) not used on any neighbor vi of Vi with j c i. We shall call this the greedy coloring algorithm. An order < of a graph G is perfect if for each subgraph H of G, the greedy algorithm applied to H, gives an optimal coloring of H. An obstruction in a ordered graph (G, <) is a set of four vertices {a, b, c, d} with edges ab, bc, cd (and no other edge) and a c b, d CC. Clearly, if < is a perfect order on G, then (G, C) contains no obstruction (because the chromatic number of an obstruction is twu, but the greedy coloring algorithm uses three colors). -
Enumeration of Unlabeled Graph Classes a Study of Tree Decompositions and Related Approaches
Enumeration of unlabeled graph classes A study of tree decompositions and related approaches Jessica Shi Advisor: Jérémie Lumbroso Independent Work Report Fall, 2015 Abstract In this paper, we study the enumeration of certain classes of graphs that can be fully charac- terized by tree decompositions; these classes are particularly significant due to the algorithmic improvements derived from tree decompositions on classically NP-complete problems on these classes [12, 7, 17, 35]. Previously, Chauve et al. [6] and Iriza [26] constructed grammars from the split decomposition trees of distance hereditary graphs and 3-leaf power graphs. We extend upon these results to obtain an upper bound grammar for parity graphs. Also, Nakano et al. [25] used the vertex incremental characterization of distance hereditary graphs to obtain upper bounds. We constructively enumerate (6;2)-chordal bipartite graphs, (C5, bull, gem, co-gem)-free graphs, and parity graphs using their vertex incremental characterization and extend upon Nakano et al.’s results to analytically obtain upper bounds of O7n and O11n for (6;2)-chordal bipartite graphs and (C5, bull, gem, co-gem)-free graphs respectively. 1. Introduction 1.1. Context The technique of decomposing graphs into trees has been an object of significant interest due to its applications on classical problems in graph theory. Indeed, many graph theoretic problems are inherently difficult due to the lack of recursive structure in graphs, and recursion has historically offered efficient solutions to challenging problems. In this sense, classifying graphs in terms of trees is of particular interest, since it associates a recursive structure to these graphs. -

A vertex partition of a graph into disjoint subsets Vis is said to be a P4-free coloring if each color class Vi induces a subgraph without a chordless path on four vertices (denoted by P4). Examples of P4-free 2-colorable graphs (also called P4-bipartite graphs) include parity graphs and graphs with “few” P4s like P4-reducible and P4-sparse graphs. -

It is known that determining the nonzero entries of a sparse matrix can be modeled as a graph coloring problem. To find out the optimal partitioning, we have proposed a new algorithm that combines existing exact and heuristic algorithms. We have introduced degeneracy and maximum k-core for sparse matrices to solve the problem in stages. Our combined approach produce better results in terms of partitioning than DSJM and for some test instances, we report optimal partitioning for the first time. iv Acknowledgments I would like to express my deep acknowledgment and profound sense of gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Shahadat Hossain, for his continuous guidance, support, cooperation, and persistent encouragement throughout the journey of my MSc program. -

Results on the Grundy Chromatic Number of Graphs Manouchehr Zaker
Discrete Mathematics 306 (2006) 3166–3173 www.elsevier.com/locate/disc Results on the Grundy chromatic number of graphs Manouchehr Zaker Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, 45195-1159 Zanjan, Iran Received 7 November 2003; received in revised form 22 June 2005; accepted 22 June 2005 Available online 7 August 2006 Abstract Given a graph G,byaGrundy k-coloring of G we mean any proper k-vertex coloring of G such that for each two colors i and j, i<j, every vertex of G colored by j has a neighbor with color i. The maximum k for which there exists a Grundy k-coloring is denoted by (G) and called Grundy (chromatic) number of G. We first discuss the fixed-parameter complexity of determining (G)k, for any fixed integer k and show that it is a polynomial time problem. But in general, Grundy number is an NP-complete problem. We show that it is NP-complete even for the complement of bipartite graphs and describe the Grundy number of these graphs in terms of the minimum edge dominating number of their complements. Next we obtain some additive Nordhaus–Gaddum-type inequalities concerning (G) and (Gc), for a few family of graphs. We introduce well-colored graphs, which are graphs G for which applying every greedy coloring results in a coloring of G with (G) colors. Equivalently G is well colored if (G) = (G). We prove that the recognition problem of well-colored graphs is a coNP-complete problem. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Greedy Defining Sets of Graphs
Greedy defining sets of graphs Manouchehr Zaker Department of Mathematical Sciences, Sharif University of Technology, P.O. Box 11365-9415, Tehran, IRAN [email protected] Abstract For a graph G and an order a on V(G), we define a greedy defining set as a subset S of V(G) with an assignment of colors to vertices in S, such that the pre-coloring can be extended to a x( G)-coloring of G by the greedy coloring of (G, a). A greedy defining set ofaX( G)-coloring C of G is a greedy defining set, which results in the coloring C (by the greedy procedure). We denote the size of a greedy defining set of C with minimum cardinality by G D N (G, a, C). In this paper we show that the problem of determining GDN(G,a,C), for an instance (G,a,C) is an NP-complete problem. 1 Introduction and preliminaries We begin with some terminology and notation which are used throughout the paper. For the other necessary definitions and notation, we refer the reader to texts such as [4]. A harmonious coloring of a graph G is a proper vertex coloring of G, such that the subgraph induced on any two different colors has at most one edge. By a hypergraph we mean an ordinary hypergraph which consists of a vertex set V and a collection of subsets of V, called (hyper)edges. In a hypergraph 1£ a block ing set is a subset of the vertex set which intersects every edge of 1£. -
Classes of Perfect Graphs
This paper appeared in: Discrete Mathematics 306 (2006), 2529-2571 Classes of Perfect Graphs Stefan Hougardy Humboldt-Universit¨atzu Berlin Institut f¨urInformatik 10099 Berlin, Germany [email protected] February 28, 2003 revised October 2003, February 2005, and July 2007 Abstract. The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture, suggested by Claude Berge in 1960, had a major impact on the development of graph theory over the last forty years. It has led to the definitions and study of many new classes of graphs for which the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture has been verified. Powerful concepts and methods have been developed to prove the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture for these special cases. In this paper we survey 120 of these classes, list their fundamental algorithmic properties and present all known relations between them. 1 Introduction A graph is called perfect if the chromatic number and the clique number have the same value for each of its induced subgraphs. The notion of perfect graphs was introduced by Berge [6] in 1960. He also conjectured that a graph is perfect if and only if it contains, as an induced subgraph, neither an odd cycle of length at least five nor its complement. This conjecture became known as the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture and attempts to prove it contributed much to the developement of graph theory in the past forty years. The methods developed and the results proved have their uses also outside the area of perfect graphs. The theory of antiblocking polyhedra developed by Fulkerson [37], and the theory of modular decomposition (which has its origins in a paper of Gallai [39]) are two such examples. -

ISSN 1814-0432, 2017 http://ijmcs.future-in-tech.net 14 Anderson, DeVilbiss, Holliday, Johnson, Kite, Matzke, McDonald Abstract The edge Grundy numbers of graphs in a number of different classes are determined, notably for the complete and the complete bipartite graphs, as well as for the Petersen graph, the grids, and the cubes. Except for small-graph exceptions, these edge Grundy numbers turn out to equal a natural upper bound of the edge Grundy number, or to be one less than that bound. 1 Grundy colorings and Grundy numbers A Grundy coloring of a (finite simple) graph G is a proper coloring of the vertices of G with positive integers with the property that if v ∈ V (G) is colored with c > 1, then all the colors 1,...,c − 1 appear on neighbors of v. -
