Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

2. Background
Habitat for Humanity (HfH) is an international, non-
governmental, and non-profit organization, which was founded in
1976
Functions: To provide affordable housing to people
3.
4. Diagnostic of HfH
HfH is facing criticism for a number of reasons such as:
Unsafe work environment
Slow delivery
Lack of volunteers
Untrained volunteers
Lack of power to do management work
Failure to meet customers requirements
Slow and inefficient process
Inefficient usage of resources
Sub standard housing materials
5. Diagnostic of HfH
The net effect of these issues will create following problems:
Short term:
Several customer’s complaints will cause the organization to lose
valuable opportunities.
Due to these inefficiencies the process of fundraising will/has
becomes tedious as the donors may have second thoughts about
donating to HfH.
Long term:
It will discount the function of HfH
6. HfH and Six Sigma
To help eliminate the problems and help regain its former and
needed glory, that is to build affordable homes, we have used Six
Sigma method
Process Flow of Six Sigma Method
7. Define: Evaluating Problem Areas
Based on Voice of Customers(VoC) analysis and Pareto principle we
have shorted down the top three customers requirements:
Quality work
Fast delivery
Affordable house
8. Define: Cost of Poor Quality(COPQ) Concerns
Internal Failure Cost:
Untrained volunteer’s low performance
Slow and Inefficient building process: downtime and extra money
Inefficient use of resources: non-value added activities
Sub standard material quality
Conflicts with local affiliates
9. External Failure Cost:
Volunteers got injured in the project need medical care
Difficulty in getting capital investment from people and
government
Fail to build some “affordable” homes for low income people
Conflicts with local authority
Define: Cost of Poor Quality(COPQ) Concerns
10. Define: Selecting Problems Areas For
Improvement
Based on all pre analysis we decided to work on:
Increasing the quality of building
Shorten the delivery time
11. Measure: Verify Need
Setting a standard for their building based on the review of
architect and the feedback of house owners
The house quality are rated from unacceptable (score 0) to
qualified (score 5) to excellent (score 10)
Most houses are around and below score 5

14. Measure: Baseline Performance
Because the target of HfH is to build affordable house, the
baseline of their project would not be very high.
An ideal project would be rated between qualified (score 5) and
advanced (score 7)
If a score from 0 to 4 exists then it needs immediate attention to
improve
16. Measure: Other Data Collections
Measured house quality in three completely different
geographical locations/projects to measure influence of material
quality and labor training level(in terms of cost to train them)
Measured the influence of repeatability, reproductively, and part
to part
17. Analyze: Quality Performance between 3 Projects
Null hypothesis: Means are equal
Alternative hypothesis: Atleast one mean is different
Test: ANOVA
Result: Alternative hypothesis is true
Meaning: Quality performance in different projects are
significantly different
18. Analyze: Finding Quality Gap BW These
Projects
Test: Tukey Pairwise Comparisons
Result: Quality gap between project 1 and project 2 is the biggest
Meaning: House quality of project 1 is better
Next course: Finding if correlation exist between training level
and house quality or material and house quality in project 1
19. Analyze: Finding If Correlation Exist
Test: Pearson correlation
Result: Correlation exist between material and quality of house
Next course: Finding the correlation
20. Analyze: Finding Correlation BW Material
Quality And House Quality
Test: Regression Analysis
Result: House Quality = -0.324 + (8.727 x Material Quality)
Meaning: The quality of material is the driving factor of house
quality
21. Improve: Design Of Experiments
We did quality check based on vendor selection from local
supplier and overseas supplier
Result: Higher quality local supplier is preferred
Reason: Lower cost and Less delivery time with almost equal
materials quality
22. Improve: Optimizing Inventory In Supply
Chain
Tested inventory with materials cap at 9 and 15
Result: Inventory of 15 is better
Reason: Total cost is lower as inventory of 15 decreases cost of
overflow
23. Improve: Other Measures In Need of
Improvement
Proper capital management
Give high priority to employ skilled workers
Finding out sporadic problem areas & dynamic implementation of
solutions proposed
Incentives for skilled employees
Aggressively promoting the need for skilled volunteers
Renting necessary quality equipment, locally if available, to
reduce cost of own equipment deterioration as well as using
improved tech
Establishing a supervising committee
24. Improve: Measures To Improve Sustainability
Using green building techniques and materials that are
comparable in price to traditional counterpart
Cutting energy waste while building and fitting energy star
electrical devices
Improving design of houses to minimize deteriorating weather
effects based on locations
Training quality engineers for sustainability
Efficient use of raw materials
25. Control: Use Of Control Charts
In order to control the building quality, a quality inspection
standard should be set for the incoming raw material
Because materials are always purchased by huge lot size in a
short period, a sampling plan should be set
Used: Nomograph
Result: Sample size (n)=65 and acceptance number (c)=7
26. Control: Use Of Control Charts
According to the relationship between material and quality:
House Quality = -0.324 + (8.727 x Material Quality)
We can calculate that if we want to get an average house quality
scoring 6, with upper limit 7 and lower limit 5 the raw material
quality should have a mean equal to 0.72

28. Control: Use Of Control Charts
We can see that the mean and range of material quality are fairly
stable by now.
Because the quality performance may shift over time, it’s critical
to keep checking the situation when new material are purchased.
Once they have a sample fall out of the limit or go beyond
warning limits, we should stop the process or check the situation
respectively, to assess whether the supplier has deviated from its
stable state.
29. Control: Assessing Final Process Capability
New Process Capability
Cp=1.43
Cpk=1.33
Old Process Capability
Cp=1.09
Cpk=0.87
30. Control: For Ongoing Projects
Mistake Proofing
Supervisors to overlook that every house construction follows
the same plan
Also, if there is a problem in the current plan and a solution is
found out, then making sure that it's implemented on every
house aka dynamic implementation
Control Plan
If any individual in a team needs to be replaced then selecting
from equally trained individual
This way there is consistency in trained people and house
quality is not compromised
31. Control: For Ongoing Projects
Management Control
Managing committee to overlook the project after its
completion
Having proper hierarchy of authority among the managing
committee
Supervisors to check the quality of houses (eg. like in 1mth,
6mths, 12mths basis) and report to the managing committee
for any immediate action needed on their part
32. Control: For New Projects-Use Of 5S
Sort
As the quality of houses also depend on quality training of
volunteers, this stage consist of sorting out workers who have
received equal training
Pre selecting teams with trained individuals based on their
corresponding work
Set in order
After sorting out the necessary resources we need to document it
for quick selection and preventing waste of time
Documentation of workers according to training level and their
post
Equipment documentation is also a part of this stage
33. Control: For New Projects-Use Of 5S
Shine
In this stage it is necessary to prevent machinery and equipment
deterioration as it will have immediate impact on houses quality
and time needed to complete the project
Standardize
Standardizing the best practices in the work area. Some research
is needed to understand which type of houses, materials,
equipments etc. are suitable in the given geographical area
Maintain orderliness
Everything in its right place during and after the completion of
project
Making sure that workers comply with process standard
34. Control: For New Projects
Sustain
To keep everything in working order
Perform regular audits
Training and Discipline whenever necessary
35. Conclusion
By successfully implementing the techniques suggested the
quality of work and delivery time will improve which is the
required target for our project
If the targets are attained, HfH can bury their current
shortcomings and be known as THE international organization for
bringing quality & affordable houses to low income families
