Description
Summary:This paper presents a network-based template for analyzing large-scale dynamic data. Specifically, we propose a novel shared-memory parallel algorithm for updating tree-based structures or properties, such as connected components (CC) and minimum spanning trees (MST), on dynamic networks. The underlying idea is to update the information in a rooted tree data structure that stores the edges of the network that are most relevant to the analysis. Extensive experiments on real-world and synthetic networks demonstrate that, with the exception of the inherently sequential component for creating the rooted tree, our proposed updatiing algorithm is scalable and, in most cases, also requires significantly less memory, energy, and time than recomputing-from-scratch algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first parallel algorithm for updating MST on weighted dynamic networks. The rooted-tree based framework that we propose in this paper can be extended for updating other weighted and unweighted tree-based properties such as single source shortest path and betweenness and closeness centrality.
