The Parallel Boost Graph Library
A Generic C++ Library for High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Graph Computation
The Parallel BGL builds on the Boost Graph Library (BGL), offering similar data structures, algorithms, and syntax for distributed, parallel computation that the BGL offers for sequential programs. The Parallel BGL is intended primarily as a research platform, to facilitate both experimentation with and comparison of parallel graph algorithms and to provide solid implementations for solving large-scale graph problems in other application areas.
The Parallel BGL is being developed by the Open Systems Lab, part of the Pervasive Technologies Institute at Indiana University.
News
- February 25, 2010: Andrew Lumsdaine presented preliminary
work in collaboration with Nicholas Edmonds and Jeremiah Willcock on
hybrid parallel graph algorithms at the SIAM Conference
on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing. The
implementation utilizes both threads and MPI-based active messages
(in the form of a generalized active message library developed by
the aforementioned individuals and Torsten Hoefler) to leverage both
coarse- and fine-grained parallelism on multi-core clusters. Both
the generalized active message library and hybrid parallel graph
algorithm implementations will be released soon.
- April 14, 2009: Version 0.7.0 of the Parallel BGL is available for download. Version 0.7.0 also
comprises the initial codebase incorporated into Boost 1.40. Parallel BGL
development will continue on the Indiana University hosted
repository with periodic updates of tested and documented code
pushed to the Boost repository.
- April 11, 2008: The communication layer of the Parallel
BGL has been replaced with an optimized MPI process group supporting
asynchronous message handlers. The 'original' Parallel BGL code has
been moved to the 0.6.0 branch.
- January 17, 2006: The Parallel BGL Subversion repository is now open for anonymous,
read-only access.
- October 20, 2005: Douglas Gregor presented a paper
describing the Generic Programming process used to design the
Parallel BGL at OOPSLA
2005.
- March 31, 2005: Version 0.5.0 alpha of the Parallel BGL
is available for download.
