HPC Graph Analysis

Graph Algorithms Building Blocks (GABB’2016)

Chicago Hyatt Regency
Chicago, Illinois, USA

23 May 2016

Scope and Goals:

The Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms, introduced over 30 years ago, had a transformative effect on software for linear algebra. With the BLAS, researchers spend less time mapping algorithms onto specific features of hardware platforms and more time on interesting new algorithms.

Would it be practical to define an analogous set of basic building blocks for graph algorithms?  Can we define a core set of mathematical primitives from which we can build most (if not all) important graph algorithms? If we can agree on the mathematical foundations, how would these interact with the data structures used in graph algorithms and result in an API the graph algorithms research community could support?

These questions will be the topic for the third “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” workshop.  Our goal is an interactive workshop where the full range of issues behind “Graph Algorithms Building Blocks” will be explored.   We want an interactive “workshop” so papers that report preliminary results and unproven but interesting ideas will be considered.

Location:

IPDPS 2016 logoThis workshop is co-located with IPDPS 2016, held 23 - 27 May 2016, at the Chicago Hyatt Regency, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Registration information for IPDPS2016 can be found at here.

 

Details and Dates

To submit a paper, upload a PDF copy here. Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references (see IPDPS Call for Papers for more details). Papers shorter than 10 pages are welcome and even encouraged. All papers will be reviewed. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference and
are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after
the conference.
