Zusammenfassung:Modern parallelizing Datalog compilers are employed in industrial applications such as networking and static program analysis. These applications regularly reason about equivalences, e.g., computing bitcoin user groups, fast points-to analyses, and optimal network routes. State-of-the-art Datalog engines represent equivalence relations verbatim by enumerating all possible pairs in an equivalence class. This approach inhibits scalability for large datasets. In this paper, we introduce EQREL, a specialized parallel union-find data structure for scalable equivalence relations, and its integration into a Datalog compiler. Our data structure provides a quadratic worst-case speed-up and space improvement. We demonstrate the efficacy of our data structure in SOUFFLÉ, which is a Datalog compiler that synthesizes parallel C ++ code. We use real-world benchmarks and show that the new data structure scales on shared-memory multi-core architectures storing up to a half-billion pairs for a static program analysis scenario.
