Abstract
Graph theoretic problems are representative of fundamental computations in traditional and emerging scientific disciplines like scientific computing and computational
biology, as well as applications in national security. We present our design and implementation of a graph theory application that supports the kernels from the Scalable Synthetic Compact Applications (SSCA) benchmark suite, developed under the
DARPA High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS) program. This synthetic
benchmark consists of four kernels that require irregular access to a large, directed,
weighted multi-graph. We have developed a parallel implementation of this bench-
mark in C using the POSIX thread library for commodity symmetric multiprocessors
(SMPs). In this paper, we primarily discuss the data layout choices and algorithmic
design issues for each kernel, and also present execution time and benchmark validation
results.
