Optimization of the Functional Decomposition of Parallel and Distributed Computations in Graph Coloring With the Use of High-Performance Computing

Abstract

This article presents methods for correct decomposition for high performance computations related to large sets of graphs. These computations contain large number of calls of sequential, recursive algorithm for NP-complete problem - proper edge coloring of graph. Decomposition of this computational problem is not trivial, since the number of recursions in various parts of the computation is different and causes a high load and time imbalance. We designed, implemented and experimentally verified a new decomposition method that significantly reduces the computational time for a large set of graphs (up to 404 million graphs). This method ensures the same duration of computational time for partial subtasks and thus eliminates the need to wait for synchronization of parallel computations.
