Abstract

In this paper we introduce efficient parallel algorithms for finding the girth in a graph or digraph, where girth is the length of a shortest cycle. We empirically compare our algorithms by using two common APIs for parallel programming in C++, which are OpenMP for multiple CPUs and CUDA for multi-core GPUs. We conclude that both hardware platforms and programming models have their benefits.
