Recent Research Projects
The following is an overview of some projects I have worked on with my students and collaborators.
|
N-body Simulation (BH)
We created the first and probably still the fastest entirely GPU-based implementation of the Barnes-Hut
algorithm for simulating n-body systems, i.e., computing the motion of many objects under the
influence of mutual forces. Such simulations can, for example, help us understand how galaxies evolve over time.
To the right is a slowed-down simulation of a 1000-star cluster. It shows
how the stars orbit each other under mutual gravitational forces. The CUDA source code is available
here and a detailed description of
this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code can simulate a time step per second with 6.5 million stars and supports
inputs of up to 74 million stars.

Strongly Connected Components (SCC)
We developed an approach for computing the strongly connected components of a directed graph
that is faster than the fastest prior GPU and CPU codes, especially on mesh graphs. A strongly
connected component of a graph is a maximal subset of its vertices in which any vertex can reach
all other vertices in the subset by following the edges of the graph. Strongly connected components
are used for community detection, finite element simulations, etc.
To the right is a visualization of our connected-components algorithm. The CUDA code of
our implementation is available here
and a detailed description of this work is available here.
On an A100 GPU, our code finds the strongly connected components of a social network with 4.8 million nodes and 69 million edges in 25 milliseconds.

Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP)
We wrote two of the fastest GPU codes that implement the 2-opt heuristic (with random restarts) to
compute a good solution for the TSP problem, i.e., for finding a short route that visits each location
of a given set of locations exactly once and returns to the starting point. Such solutions are used, for
example, in the planning of delivery-truck routes or robot-arm movements.
To the right is a slowed-down
visualization of a 575-location run. It shows how an initially random tour is gradually shortened until
the heuristic no longer applies. The CUDA code is available
here and detailed descriptions of
this work are available here and
here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code can evaluate over 350 billion tour modifications per second and supports
inputs of up to 32000 locations.

|
Maximal Independent Set (MIS)
We devised a GPU implementation for computing maximal independent sets that is not only much faster than
other single-device codes but also consistently produces larger sets. An independent set of a
graph is a subset of its vertices such that there is no edge connecting any two vertices in the set.
Such sets are used, for example, to assign to an ambulance as many non-emergency medical transports
as possible.
To the right is a visualization of the steps of our algorithm on a very small graph. The CUDA code is
available here and a detailed
description of this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code finds a MIS with 49.0% of the vertices of the U.S. road map in just 4.5
milliseconds. This input has 23.9 million intersections and 57.7 million road segments.

|
Parallelized Linear Recurrences (PLR)
We invented a new technique to compute linear recurrences in parallel and implemented it on a GPU.
Recurrences are computations where later result values depend on earlier result values, making them
difficult to parallelize. Our PLR approach is more general and/or outperforms other techniques on
most recurrences. Linear recurrences are used, for example, to simplify parallel programming and
to improve the quality of digital sound.
To the right is a visualization of a low-pass filter that smoothens the noisy green audio signal and
produces the clearer purple signal. The CUDA code is available
here
and a detailed description of this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code can apply a single-stage low-pass filter on 170 hours of CD-quality music in one second.

|
Connected Components (CC)
We developed an approach for computing the connected components of an undirected graph
that is much faster than the fastest prior GPU, multi-core CPU, and serial codes. A connected
component of a graph is a subset of its vertices such that any vertex can reach all other
vertices in the subset by following the edges of the graph but cannot reach vertices from
other components. Connected components are used for cancer and tumor detection, drug
discovery, etc.
To the right is a visualization of a connected-components algorithm. The CUDA code of
our implementation is available here
and a detailed description of this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code finds the connected components of a 2002 crawl of the .uk domain
in under 15 milliseconds. This symmetrised input contains 18.5 million vertices (web pages) and 523.6 million
edges.

|
graphB+
We created a very fast balancing algorithm for signed social network graphs that finds the nearest network-wide consensus state for an inconsistent input. This algorithm can be used to suppress bias due to super-influencers, people trying to game the system, etc. Our implementation is orders of magnitude faster than the fastest prior codes.
To the right is a visualization of our graphB+ algorithm. The OpenMP and CUDA codes of
our implementation are available here
and a detailed description of this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, graphB+ takes 0.85 seconds to balance the signs on the edges of an Amazon graph with 10 million vertices and 22 million edges.

|
Graph Coloring (GC)
We devised a graph-coloring approach that is more parallel than prior approaches while yielding the same result. The goal is to assign a color to each vertex of a graph such that no adjacent vertices have the same color while using as few distinct colors as possible. Graph coloring is widely utilized in resource allocation to determine which tasks should be assigned to a specific device.
To the right is a visualization of the steps of our algorithm on a very small graph. The CUDA code is
available here and a detailed
description of this work is available here.
On a Titan V GPU, our code colors the road network of Europe, which has 51 million intersections and 108 million road segments, in under 16 milliseconds using 5 colors.

Automatic Synthesis of Lossless Compression Algorithms (CRUSHER)
We pioneered a method to automatically generate lossless compression and decompression algorithms.
Our first-of-its-kind CRUSHER framework creates millions of algorithm candidates from which it
selects the most effective for a given set of training inputs and constraints. In this way, it has
already produced customized algorithms that not only outperform the state of the art in compression
ratio but also require little memory, are GPU-friendly, or provide a high throughput.
We have successfully used CRUSHER to generate
massively-parallel compressors,
space-probe-friendly compressors,
per-file customized compressors, and an algorithm that works well for both
single- and double-precision floating-point data.
Below is a visualization of how our approach can be used to improve the cost-effectiveness of space probes.
