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 Longest Common Subsequence problem gets a savings of a factor of the size of cache times the length of a cache line, but no more. We take the reductions and techniques from complexity and fine-grained complexity and apply them to the I/O model to generate new (conditional) lower bounds as well as faster algorithms. We also prove the existence of a time hierarchy for the I/O model, which motivates the fine-grained reductions. Using fine-grained reductions, we give an algorithm for distinguishing 2 vs. 3 diameter and radius that runs in $O(|E|^2/(MB))$ cache misses, which for sparse graphs improves over the previous $O(|V|^2/B)$ running time. We give new reductions from radius and diameter to Wiener index and median. We show meaningful reductions between problems that have linear-time solutions in the RAM model. The reductions use low I/O complexity (typically $O(n/B)$), and thus help to finely capture the relationship between I/O linear time $Theta(n/B)$ and RAM linear time $Theta(n)$. We generate new I/O assumptions based on the difficulty of improving sparse graph problem running times in the I/O model. We create conjectures that the current best known algorithms for Single Source Shortest Paths (SSSP), diameter, and radius are optimal. From these I/O-model assumptions, we show that many of the known reductions in the word-RAM model can naturally extend to hold in the I/O model as well (e.g., a lower bound on the I/O complexity of Longest Common Subsequence that matches the best known running time). Finally, we prove an analog of the Time Hierarchy Theorem in the I/O model.

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. Howeve
r, 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.
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
a widely used subroutine for graph isomorphism testing algorithms, since any automorphism needs to be colour preserving. We give an $O((m+n)log n)$ algorithm for finding a canonical version of such a stable colouring, on graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We show that no faster algorithm is possible, under some modest assumptions about the type of algorithm, which captures all known colour refinement algorithms.
We prove that any two-pass graph streaming algorithm for the $s$-$t$ reachability problem in $n$-vertex directed graphs requires near-quadratic space of $n^{2-o(1)}$ bits. As a corollary, we also obtain near-quadratic space lower bounds for several o
ther fundamental problems including maximum bipartite matching and (approximate) shortest path in undirected graphs. Our results collectively imply that a wide range of graph problems admit essentially no non-trivial streaming algorithm even when two passes over the input is allowed. Prior to our work, such impossibility results were only known for single-pass streaming algorithms, and the best two-pass lower bounds only ruled out $o(n^{7/6})$ space algorithms, leaving open a large gap between (trivial) upper bounds and lower bounds.
Computing the similarity of two point sets is a ubiquitous task in medical imaging, geometric shape comparison, trajectory analysis, and many more settings. Arguably the most basic distance measure for this task is the Hausdorff distance, which assig
ns to each point from one set the closest point in the other set and then evaluates the maximum distance of any assigned pair. A drawback is that this distance measure is not translational invariant, that is, comparing two objects just according to their shape while disregarding their position in space is impossible. Fortunately, there is a canonical translational invariant version, the Hausdorff distance under translation, which minimizes the Hausdorff distance over all translations of one of the point sets. For point sets of size $n$ and $m$, the Hausdorff distance under translation can be computed in time $tilde O(nm)$ for the $L_1$ and $L_infty$ norm [Chew, Kedem SWAT92] and $tilde O(nm (n+m))$ for the $L_2$ norm [Huttenlocher, Kedem, Sharir DCG93]. As these bounds have not been improved for over 25 years, in this paper we approach the Hausdorff distance under translation from the perspective of fine-grained complexity theory. We show (i) a matching lower bound of $(nm)^{1-o(1)}$ for $L_1$ and $L_infty$ (and all other $L_p$ norms) assuming the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis and (ii) a matching lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$ for $L_2$ in the imbalanced case of $m = O(1)$ assuming the 3SUM Hypothesis.
We study space-pass tradeoffs in graph streaming algorithms for parameter estimation and property testing problems such as estimating the size of maximum matchings and maximum cuts, weight of minimum spanning trees, or testing if a graph is connected
or cycle-free versus being far from these properties. We develop a new lower bound technique that proves that for many problems of interest, including all the above, obtaining a $(1+epsilon)$-approximation requires either $n^{Omega(1)}$ space or $Omega(1/epsilon)$ passes, even on highly restricted families of graphs such as bounded-degree planar graphs. For multiple of these problems, this bound matches those of existing algorithms and is thus (asymptotically) optimal. Our results considerably strengthen prior lower bounds even for arbitrary graphs: starting from the influential work of [Verbin, Yu; SODA 2011], there has been a plethora of lower bounds for single-pass algorithms for these problems; however, the only multi-pass lower bounds proven very recently in [Assadi, Kol, Saxena, Yu; FOCS 2020] rules out sublinear-space algorithms with exponentially smaller $o(log{(1/epsilon)})$ passes for these problems. One key ingredient of our proofs is a simple streaming XOR Lemma, a generic hardness amplification result, that we prove: informally speaking, if a $p$-pass $s$-space streaming algorithm can only solve a decision problem with advantage $delta > 0$ over random guessing, then it cannot solve XOR of $ell$ independent copies of the problem with advantage much better than $delta^{ell}$. This result can be of independent interest and useful for other streaming lower bounds as well.
