Abstract

Two independent families of parallel algorithms exist for hypergraph k-core decomposition—the HK codebase (OpenMP, vertex-centric) and HyperCD (ParlayLib, edge-centric with frontier scheduling). Yet work that systematically compares them at the level of individual optimization flags is surprisingly scarce. We constructed 10 new HK variants by toggling 7 compile-time preprocessor flags, benchmarked them alongside 5 HyperCD variants on 7 real-world datasets (489 timed runs at 32 threads), and probed which optimizations actually drive the performance gap. The first seven constructed variants improve on the official baseline by 21% through per-dataset routing, with three cross-pollinated variants adding another 7%. The strongest HK variants sit at an Amdahl’s Law ceiling—their parallel efficiency is lower than the naive baseline. A scalability analysis across 2–32 threads confirms that HK scales with thread count (3.1×–6.2×) while HyperCD does not (∼1.0×). Adding HyperCD through a size-based routing rule yields a combined 1.46× cumulative speedup, from 27.05 s down to 18.63 s, with all results verified byte-for-byte against golden baselines.

Listing Minimal Cores in Large Real-World Graphs

Cohesive subgraph mining is a fundamental task in graph data analytics. We re-visit the problem of listing all minimal $k$-cores, where a $k$-core is a subgraph in which every vertex has degree at least $k$, and minimality requires that no proper subset remains a $k$-core. Existing methods are computationally prohibiti...

Cooperative Multi-Heuristic Parallelization for the Maximum Common Induced Subgraph Problem

CP-McSplitDAL is introduced, a cooperative parallel framework that extends McSplit-DAL with portfolio-style multi-heuristic search on shared-memory machines and achieves lower regret in time to optimality, improves solution quality under time limits, and better exploits multi-core hardware than non-cooperative or purel...

Investigating Parallel Scaling Bottlenecks Across Rust, Julia, Haskell, and Python: Workload–Runtime Signatures

Parallel performance depends not only on programming language and runtime design, but also on how the dominant execution bottleneck changes as parallelism increases. We present a controlled cross-language study of Rust, Julia, Haskell, and Python using Merge Sort, Closest Pair of Points, and Numerical Sum in a multicor...

Resource-Efficient FirmCore Decomposition on Billion-Scale Multilayer Graphs

This work introduces serial and parallel algorithms for multi-core CPUs, as well as the first GPU-based algorithm for multi-core CPUs, and introduces a grid structure the authors call FC-Grid, which is exploited to distribute work among threads.

Is There a Best Hypergraph Neural Network? A Significance-Aware Recomputation and Statistical Audit of DHG-Bench

Deep hypergraph learning is evaluated almost entirely through leaderboards that rank methods by mean accuracy over a few random seeds, usually without significance testing. Is there a best hypergraph neural network, or does the apparent ordering reflect seed noise? We independently recomputed the node-classification tr...

Uplifting the Superpowers of Worst-Case-Optimal Join Algorithms

This paper shows how to uplift wco join algorithms so as to incorporate such filtering natively, improving efficiency and demonstrates the superiority of this approach by extending the Ring -- a compact index that provides wco resolution of BGPs within almost no extra space on top of the graph -- so as to handle proper...
