The st-connectivity problem (ST-CON) is a decision problem that asks, for vertices s and t in a graph, if t is reachable from s. Although originally defined for directed graphs, it can also be studied on undirected graphs and used as a building block for solving more complex tasks on large scale graphs. We present solutions to ST-CON based on a high performance Breadth First Search (BFS) executed on clusters of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using the Nvidia CUDA platform. To measure performances, we use the number of ST-CONs per second. We present the results for two different implementations that highlight the impact of atomic operations in CUDA.

Abstract

The st-connectivity problem (ST-CON) is a decision problem that asks, for vertices s and t in a graph, if t is reachable from s. Although originally defined for directed graphs, it can also be studied on undirected graphs and used as a building block for solving more complex tasks on large scale graphs. We present solutions to ST-CON based on a high performance Breadth First Search (BFS) executed on clusters of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) using the Nvidia CUDA platform. To measure performances, we use the number of ST-CONs per second. We present the results for two different implementations that highlight the impact of atomic operations in CUDA.
