In this paper, we propose a novel method to compute triangle counting on GPUs. Unlike previous formulations of graph matching, our approach is BFS-based by traversing the graph in an all-source-BFS manner and thus can be mapped onto GPUs in a massively parallel fashion. Our implementation uses the Gunrock programming model and we evaluate our implementation in runtime and memory consumption compared with previous state-of-the-art work. We sustain a peak traversed-edges-per-second (TEPS) rate of nearly 10 GTEPS. Our algorithm is the most scalable and parallel among all existing GPU implementations and also outperforms all existing CPU distributed implementations. This work specifically focuses on leveraging our implementation on the triangle counting problem for the Subgraph Isomorphism Graph Challenge 2019, demonstrating a geometric mean speedup over the 2018 champion of 3.84x.

Triangle counting is a building block for a wide range of graph applications. Traditional wisdom suggests that i) hashing is not suitable for triangle counting, ii) edge-centric triangle counting beats vertex-centric design, and iii) communication-free and workload balanced graph partitioning is a grand challenge for triangle counting. On the contrary, we advocate that i) hashing can help the key operations for scalable triangle counting on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), i.e., list intersection and graph partitioning, ii)vertex-centric design reduces both hash table construction cost and memory consumption, which is limited on GPUs. In addition, iii) we exploit graph and workload collaborative, and hashing-based 2D partitioning to scale vertex-centric triangle counting over 1,000 GPUswith sustained scalability. In this work, we present TRUST which performs triangle counting with the hash operation and vertex-centric mechanism at the core. To the best of our knowledge, TRUSTis the first work that achieves over one trillion Traversed Edges Per Second (TEPS) rate for triangle counting.
Counting k-cliques in a graph is an important problem in graph analysis with many applications. Counting k-cliques is typically done by traversing search trees starting at each vertex in the graph. An important optimization is to eliminate search tree branches that discover the same clique redundantly. Eliminating redundant clique discovery is typically done via graph orientation or pivoting. Parallel implementations for both of these approaches have demonstrated promising performance on CPUs. In this paper, we present our GPU implementations of k-clique counting for both the graph orientation and pivoting approaches. Our implementations explore both vertex-centric and edge-centric parallelization schemes, and replace recursive search tree traversal with iterative traversal based on an explicitly-managed shared stack. We also apply various optimizations to reduce memory consumption and improve the utilization of parallel execution resources. Our evaluation shows that our best GPU implementation outperforms the best state-of-the-art parallel CPU implementation by a geometric mean speedup of 12.39x, 6.21x, and 18.99x for k = 4, 7, and 10, respectively. We also evaluate the impact of the choice of parallelization scheme and the incremental speedup of each optimization. Our code will be open-sourced to enable further research on parallelizing k-clique counting on GPUs.
In this paper, we propose a GPU-efficient subgraph isomorphism algorithm using the Gunrock graph analytic framework, GSM (Gunrock Subgraph Matching), to compute graph matching on GPUs. In contrast to previous approaches on the CPU which are based on depth-first traversal, GSM is BFS-based: possible matches are explored simultaneously in a breadth-first strategy. The advantage of using BFS-based traversal is that we can leverage the massively parallel processing capabilities of the GPU. The disadvantage is the generation of more intermediate results. We propose several optimization techniques to cope with the problem. Our implementation follows a filtering-and-verification strategy. While most previous work on GPUs requires one-/two-step joining, we use one-step verification to decide the candidates in current frontier of nodes. Our implementation has a speedup up to 4x over previous GPU state-of-the-art implementation.
We implement exact triangle counting in graphs on the GPU using three different methodologies: subgraph matching to a triangle pattern; programmable graph analytics, with a set-intersection approach; and a matrix formulation based on sparse matrix-matrix multiplies. All three deliver best-of-class performance over CPU implementations and over comparable GPU implementations, with the graph-analytic approach achieving the best performance due to its ability to exploit efficient filtering steps to remove unnecessary work and its high-performance set-intersection core.
Rapid growth in scientific data and a widening gap between computational speed and I/O bandwidth makes it increasingly infeasible to store and share all data produced by scientific simulations. Instead, we need methods for reducing data volumes: ideally, methods that can scale data volumes adaptively so as to enable negotiation of performance and fidelity tradeoffs in different situations. Multigrid-based hierarchical data representations hold promise as a solution to this problem, allowing for flexible conversion between different fidelities so that, for example, data can be created at high fidelity and then transferred or stored at lower fidelity via logically simple and mathematically sound operations. However, the effective use of such representations has been hindered until now by the relatively high costs of creating, accessing, reducing, and otherwise operating on such representations. We describe here highly optimized data refactoring kernels for GPU accelerators that enable efficient creation and manipulation of data in multigrid-based hierarchical forms. We demonstrate that our optimized design can achieve up to 264 TB/s aggregated data refactoring throughput -- 92% of theoretical peak -- on 1024 nodes of the Summit supercomputer. We showcase our optimized design by applying it to a large-scale scientific visualization workflow and the MGARD lossy compression software.
