Abstract

We describe and evaluate ordered and unordered algorithms for shared-memory parallel breadth-first search. The unordered algorithm is based on viewing breadth-first search as a fixpoint computation, and in general, it may perform more work than the ordered algorithms while requiring less global synchronization.
