We consider the problem of finding lower bounds on the I/O complexity of arbitrary computations in a two level memory hierarchy. Executions of complex computations can be formalized as an evaluation order over the underlying computation graph. However, prior methods for finding I/O lower bounds leverage the graph structures for specific problems (e.g matrix multiplication) which cannot be applied to arbitrary graphs. In this paper, we first present a novel method to bound the I/O of any computation graph using the first few eigenvalues of the graphs Laplacian. We further extend this bound to the parallel setting. This spectral bound is not only efficiently computable by power iteration, but can also be computed in closed form for graphs with known spectra. We apply our spectral method to compute closed-form analytical bounds on two computation graphs (the Bellman-Held-Karp algorithm for the traveling salesman problem and the Fast Fourier Transform), as well as provide a probabilistic bound for random Erdos Renyi graphs. We empirically validate our bound on four computation graphs, and find that our method provides tighter bounds than current empirical methods and behaves similarly to previously published I/O bounds.
This paper initiates the study of I/O algorithms (minimizing cache misses) from the perspective of fine-grained complexity (conditional polynomial lower bounds). Specifically, we aim to answer why sparse graph problems are so hard, and why the Longes
An assignment of colours to the vertices of a graph is stable if any two vertices of the same colour have identically coloured neighbourhoods. The goal of colour refinement is to find a stable colouring that uses a minimum number of colours. This is
Shors and Grovers famous quantum algorithms for factoring and searching show that quantum computers can solve certain computational problems significantly faster than any classical computer. We discuss here what quantum computers_cannot_ do, and spec
Given positive integers $p$ and $q$, a $(p,q)$-coloring of the complete graph $K_n$ is an edge-coloring in which every $p$-clique receives at least $q$ colors. ErdH{o}s and Shelah posed the question of determining $f(n,p,q)$, the minimum number of co
A visibility algorithm maps time series into complex networks following a simple criterion. The resulting visibility graph has recently proven to be a powerful tool for time series analysis. However its straightforward computation is time-consuming a
