About TrueTime, Spanner, Clock synchronization, CAP theorem, Two-phase lockin...
TrueTime is a service that enables the use of globally synchronized clocks, with bounded error. It returns a time interval that is guaranteed to contain the clock’s actual time for some time during the call’s execution. If two intervals do not overlap, then we know calls were definitely ordered in real time. In general, synchronized clocks can be used to avoid communication in a distributed system.
The underlying source of time is a combination of GPS receivers and atomic clocks. As there are “time masters” in every datacenter (redundantly), it is likely that both sides of a partition would continue to enjoy accurate time. Individual nodes however need network connectivity to the masters, and without it their clocks will drift. Thus, during a partition their intervals slowly grow wider over time, based on bounds on the rate of local clock drift. Operations depending on TrueTime, such as Paxos leader election or transaction commits, thus have to wait a little longer, but the operation still completes (assuming the 2PC and quorum communication are working).
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...
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.
Adjusting Bitset for graph : SHORT REPORT / NOTES
Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) is an adjacency-list based graph representation that is commonly used for efficient graph computations. Unfortunately, using CSR for dynamic graphs is impractical since addition/deletion of a single edge can require on average (N+M)/2 memory accesses, in order to update source-offsets and destination-indices. A common approach is therefore to store edge-lists/destination-indices as an array of arrays, where each edge-list is an array belonging to a vertex. While this is good enough for small graphs, it quickly becomes a bottleneck for large graphs. What causes this bottleneck depends on whether the edge-lists are sorted or unsorted. If they are sorted, checking for an edge requires about log(E) memory accesses, but adding an edge on average requires E/2 accesses, where E is the number of edges of a given vertex. Note that both addition and deletion of edges in a dynamic graph require checking for an existing edge, before adding or deleting it. If edge lists are unsorted, checking for an edge requires around E/2 memory accesses, but adding an edge requires only 1 memory access.

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.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTES
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
word2vec, node2vec, graph2vec, X2vec: Towards a Theory of Vector Embeddings o...
Below are the important points I note from the 2020 paper by Martin Grohe:
- 1-WL distinguishes almost all graphs, in a probabilistic sense
- Classical WL is two dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman
- DeepWL is an unlimited version of WL graph that runs in polynomial time.
- Knowledge graphs are essentially graphs with vertex/edge attributes
ABSTRACT:
Vector representations of graphs and relational structures, whether handcrafted feature vectors or learned representations, enable us to apply standard data analysis and machine learning techniques to the structures. A wide range of methods for generating such embeddings have been studied in the machine learning and knowledge representation literature. However, vector embeddings have received relatively little attention from a theoretical point of view.
Starting with a survey of embedding techniques that have been used in practice, in this paper we propose two theoretical approaches that we see as central for understanding the foundations of vector embeddings. We draw connections between the various approaches and suggest directions for future research.
DyGraph: A Dynamic Graph Generator and Benchmark Suite : NOTES
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/54c4a14d9ea547183c6c7b3518bf9cd1
There exist a number of dynamic graph generators. Barbasi-Albert model iteratively attach new vertices to pre-exsiting vertices in the graph using preferential attachment (edges to high degree vertices are more likely - rich get richer - Pareto principle). However, graph size increases monotonically, and density of graph keeps increasing (sparsity decreasing).
Gorke's model uses a defined clustering to uniformly add vertices and edges. Purohit's model uses motifs (eg. triangles) to mimick properties of existing dynamic graphs, such as growth rate, structure, and degree distribution. Kronecker graph generators are used to increase size of a given graph, with power-law distribution.
To generate dynamic graphs, we must choose a metric to compare two graphs. Common metrics include diameter, clustering coefficient (modularity?), triangle counting (triangle density?), and degree distribution.
In this paper, the authors propose Dygraph, a dynamic graph generator that uses degree distribution as the only metric. The authors observe that many real-world graphs differ from the power-law distribution at the tail end. To address this issue, they propose binning, where the vertices beyond a certain degree (minDeg = min(deg) s.t. |V(deg)| < H, where H~10 is the number of vertices with a given degree below which are binned) are grouped into bins of degree-width binWidth, max-degree localMax, and number of degrees in bin with at least one vertex binSize (to keep track of sparsity). This helps the authors to generate graphs with a more realistic degree distribution.
The process of generating a dynamic graph is as follows. First the difference between the desired and the current degree distribution is calculated. The authors then create an edge-addition set where each vertex is present as many times as the number of additional incident edges it must recieve. Edges are then created by connecting two vertices randomly from this set, and removing both from the set once connected. Currently, authors reject self-loops and duplicate edges. Removal of edges is done in a similar fashion.
Authors observe that adding edges with power-law properties dominates the execution time, and consider parallelizing DyGraph as part of future work.
Shared memory Parallelism (NOTES)
My notes on shared memory parallelism.
Shared memory is memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs. Using memory for communication inside a single program, e.g. among its multiple threads, is also referred to as shared memory [REF].
A Dynamic Algorithm for Local Community Detection in Graphs : NOTES
**Community detection methods** can be *global* or *local*. **Global community detection methods** divide the entire graph into groups. Existing global algorithms include:
- Random walk methods
- Spectral partitioning
- Label propagation
- Greedy agglomerative and divisive algorithms
- Clique percolation
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/b4316609265b5b9f88027bbc491f80b6
There is a growing body of work in *detecting overlapping communities*. **Seed set expansion** is a **local community detection method** where a relevant *seed vertices* of interest are picked and *expanded to form communities* surrounding them. The quality of each community is measured using a *fitness function*.
**Modularity** is a *fitness function* which compares the number of intra-community edges to the expected number in a random-null model. **Conductance** is another popular fitness score that measures the community cut or inter-community edges. Many *overlapping community detection* methods **use a modified ratio** of intra-community edges to all edges with atleast one endpoint in the community.
Andersen et al. use a **Spectral PageRank-Nibble method** which minimizes conductance and is formed by adding vertices in order of decreasing PageRank values. Andersen and Lang develop a **random walk approach** in which some vertices in the seed set may not be placed in the final community. Clauset gives a **greedy method** that *starts from a single vertex* and then iteratively adds neighboring vertices *maximizing the local modularity score*. Riedy et al. **expand multiple vertices** via maximizing modularity.
Several algorithms for **detecting global, overlapping communities** use a *greedy*, *agglomerative approach* and run *multiple separate seed set expansions*. Lancichinetti et al. run **greedy seed set expansions**, each with a *single seed vertex*. Overlapping communities are produced by a sequentially running expansions from a node not yet in a community. Lee et al. use **maximal cliques as seed sets**. Havemann et al. **greedily expand cliques**.
The authors of this paper discuss a dynamic approach for **community detection using seed set expansion**. Simply marking the neighbours of changed vertices is a **naive approach**, and has *severe shortcomings*. This is because *communities can split apart*. The simple updating method *may fail even when it outputs a valid community* in the graph.
Scalable Static and Dynamic Community Detection Using Grappolo : NOTES
A **community** (in a network) is a subset of nodes which are _strongly connected among themselves_, but _weakly connected to others_. Neither the number of output communities nor their size distribution is known a priori. Community detection methods can be divisive or agglomerative. **Divisive methods** use _betweeness centrality_ to **identify and remove bridges** between communities. **Agglomerative methods** greedily **merge two communities** that provide maximum gain in _modularity_. Newman and Girvan have introduced the **modularity metric**. The problem of community detection is then reduced to the problem of modularity maximization which is **NP-complete**. **Louvain method** is a variant of the _agglomerative strategy_, in that is a _multi-level heuristic_.
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/917a1a4a429e89a0f2a1911cea56314d
In this paper, the authors discuss **four heuristics** for Community detection using the _Louvain algorithm_ implemented upon recently developed **Grappolo**, which is a parallel variant of the Louvain algorithm. They are:
- Vertex following and Minimum label
- Data caching
- Graph coloring
- Threshold scaling
With the **Vertex following** heuristic, the _input is preprocessed_ and all single-degree vertices are merged with their corresponding neighbours. This helps reduce the number of vertices considered in each iteration, and also help initial seeds of communities to be formed. With the **Minimum label heuristic**, when a vertex is making the decision to move to a community and multiple communities provided the same modularity gain, the community with the smallest id is chosen. This helps _minimize or prevent community swaps_. With the **Data caching** heuristic, community information is stored in a vector instead of a map, and is reused in each iteration, but with some additional cost. With the **Vertex ordering via Graph coloring** heuristic, _distance-k coloring_ of graphs is performed in order to group vertices into colors. Then, each set of vertices (by color) is processed _concurrently_, and synchronization is performed after that. This enables us to mimic the behaviour of the serial algorithm. Finally, with the **Threshold scaling** heuristic, _successively smaller values of modularity threshold_ are used as the algorithm progresses. This allows the algorithm to converge faster, and it has been observed a good modularity score as well.
From the results, it appears that _graph coloring_ and _threshold scaling_ heuristics do not always provide a speedup and this depends upon the nature of the graph. It would be interesting to compare the heuristics against baseline approaches. Future work can include _distributed memory implementations_, and _community detection on streaming graphs_.

Community Detection on the GPU : NOTES
This paper discusses a GPU implementation of the Louvain community detection algorithm. Louvain algorithm obtains hierachical communities as a dendrogram through modularity optimization. Given an undirected weighted graph, all vertices are first considered to be their own communities. In the first phase, each vertex greedily decides to move to the community of one of its neighbours which gives greatest increase in modularity. If moving to no neighbour's community leads to an increase in modularity, the vertex chooses to stay with its own community. This is done sequentially for all the vertices. If the total change in modularity is more than a certain threshold, this phase is repeated. Once this local moving phase is complete, all vertices have formed their first hierarchy of communities. The next phase is called the aggregation phase, where all the vertices belonging to a community are collapsed into a single super-vertex, such that edges between communities are represented as edges between respective super-vertices (edge weights are combined), and edges within each community are represented as self-loops in respective super-vertices (again, edge weights are combined). Together, the local moving and the aggregation phases constitute a stage. This super-vertex graph is then used as input fof the next stage. This process continues until the increase in modularity is below a certain threshold. As a result from each stage, we have a hierarchy of community memberships for each vertex as a dendrogram.
Approaches to perform the Louvain algorithm can be divided into coarse-grained and fine-grained. Coarse-grained approaches process a set of vertices in parallel, while fine-grained approaches process all vertices in parallel. A coarse-grained hybrid-GPU algorithm using multi GPUs has be implemented by Cheong et al. which grabbed my attention. In addition, their algorithm does not use hashing for the local moving phase, but instead sorts each neighbour list based on the community id of each vertex.

Fast Incremental Community Detection on Dynamic Graphs : NOTES
In this paper, the authors describe two approaches for dynamic community detection using the CNM algorithm. CNM is a hierarchical, agglomerative algorithm that greedily maximizes modularity. They define two approaches: BasicDyn and FastDyn. BasicDyn backtracks merges of communities until each marked (changed) vertex is its own singleton community. FastDyn undoes a merge only if the quality of merge, as measured by the induced change in modularity, has significantly decreased compared to when the merge initially took place. FastDyn also allows more than two vertices to contract together if in the previous time step these vertices eventually ended up contracted in the same community. In the static case, merging several vertices together in one contraction phase could lead to deteriorating results. FastDyn is able to do this, however, because it uses information from the merges of the previous time step. Intuitively, merges that previously occurred are more likely to be acceptable later.

Basic Computer Architecture and the Case for GPUs : NOTES
Computer architectures are facing issues:
Memory latencies are far higher.
Benefits from instruction level parallelism (ILP) is reducing.
With increasing clock rates, power consumption is increasing.
Increasing complexity with multi-stage pipelines, intermediate buffers, multi-level caches, out-of-order execution, branch prediction, ...
GPUs are parallel computer architectures that are good at some tasks, not so good at others. Running routines with high arithmetic intensity with overlapped memory access is the preferred approach. They may be unsuitable for irregular algorithms, where it is difficult to get high efficiency due to the high latency of accesses. They are less versatile compared to CPUs, using SIMD parallelism, and are dense compute-wise (per currency). NVIDIA's CUDA programming model enables GPUs to be used for general-purpose computing, and hence the term GPGPU.

Are Satellites Covered in Gold Foil : NOTES
Satellites are usually covered in aluminized polyimide. The yellowish gold color of polyimide with silver aluminium side facing in gives the satellite the appearance of being wrapped in gold. The material is called Multi-layer Insulation (MLI). It helps in radiative insulation of the onboard instruments of satellite. Gold is actually used in electrical contacts to prevent corrosion due to Ultra-violet light or X-rays.

A Generalization of the PageRank Algorithm : NOTES

Abstract— PageRank is a well-known algorithm that has been used to understand the structure of the Web. In its classical formulation the algorithm considers only forward looking paths in its analysis- a typical web scenario. We propose a generalization of the PageRank algorithm based on both out-links and in-links. This generalization enables the elimination network anomalies- and increases the applicability of the algorithm to an array of new applications in networked data. Through experimental results we illustrate that the proposed generalized PageRank minimizes the effect of network anomalies, and results in more realistic representation of the network.

With biomedical signal processing algorithms, such as the Pan-Tompkins QRS peak detection algorithm, FIR filters are utilized. Raw ECG signal can be fed to a Moving window filter, which helps filter out noise and get the signal of interest. These FIR filters involve the use of multipliers and adders, which take in several input sample and output a single sample.
This paper replaces accurate adders in such filters with 10 16-bit signed approximate adders (power ve error parameters) from the EvoApprox library. Functional validation is done in MATLAB with Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of Moving Window Integration; and
Mean Square Error (MSE) of thresholds as error metrics. MIT-BIH Arrythmia database is used as the raw ECG input.
In hardware evaluation, a 100-point FIR filter is implemented with a single Multiply-accumulate unit where the exact adder is replaced with selected approximate adder. RTL model is synthesized with 45nm NandGate Open Cell library in Synopsys design compiler. Area, Average power, and Worst-case delay are measured.
On average the presented methodology provides an area-saving of 19.71% and power-saving of 19.27%.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTES
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
word2vec, node2vec, graph2vec, X2vec: Towards a Theory of Vector Embeddings o...
Below are the important points I note from the 2020 paper by Martin Grohe:
- 1-WL distinguishes almost all graphs, in a probabilistic sense
- Classical WL is two dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman
- DeepWL is an unlimited version of WL graph that runs in polynomial time.
- Knowledge graphs are essentially graphs with vertex/edge attributes
ABSTRACT:
Vector representations of graphs and relational structures, whether handcrafted feature vectors or learned representations, enable us to apply standard data analysis and machine learning techniques to the structures. A wide range of methods for generating such embeddings have been studied in the machine learning and knowledge representation literature. However, vector embeddings have received relatively little attention from a theoretical point of view.
Starting with a survey of embedding techniques that have been used in practice, in this paper we propose two theoretical approaches that we see as central for understanding the foundations of vector embeddings. We draw connections between the various approaches and suggest directions for future research.
DyGraph: A Dynamic Graph Generator and Benchmark Suite : NOTES
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/54c4a14d9ea547183c6c7b3518bf9cd1
There exist a number of dynamic graph generators. Barbasi-Albert model iteratively attach new vertices to pre-exsiting vertices in the graph using preferential attachment (edges to high degree vertices are more likely - rich get richer - Pareto principle). However, graph size increases monotonically, and density of graph keeps increasing (sparsity decreasing).
Gorke's model uses a defined clustering to uniformly add vertices and edges. Purohit's model uses motifs (eg. triangles) to mimick properties of existing dynamic graphs, such as growth rate, structure, and degree distribution. Kronecker graph generators are used to increase size of a given graph, with power-law distribution.
To generate dynamic graphs, we must choose a metric to compare two graphs. Common metrics include diameter, clustering coefficient (modularity?), triangle counting (triangle density?), and degree distribution.
In this paper, the authors propose Dygraph, a dynamic graph generator that uses degree distribution as the only metric. The authors observe that many real-world graphs differ from the power-law distribution at the tail end. To address this issue, they propose binning, where the vertices beyond a certain degree (minDeg = min(deg) s.t. |V(deg)| < H, where H~10 is the number of vertices with a given degree below which are binned) are grouped into bins of degree-width binWidth, max-degree localMax, and number of degrees in bin with at least one vertex binSize (to keep track of sparsity). This helps the authors to generate graphs with a more realistic degree distribution.
The process of generating a dynamic graph is as follows. First the difference between the desired and the current degree distribution is calculated. The authors then create an edge-addition set where each vertex is present as many times as the number of additional incident edges it must recieve. Edges are then created by connecting two vertices randomly from this set, and removing both from the set once connected. Currently, authors reject self-loops and duplicate edges. Removal of edges is done in a similar fashion.
Authors observe that adding edges with power-law properties dominates the execution time, and consider parallelizing DyGraph as part of future work.
Shared memory Parallelism (NOTES)
My notes on shared memory parallelism.
Shared memory is memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs. Using memory for communication inside a single program, e.g. among its multiple threads, is also referred to as shared memory [REF].
A Dynamic Algorithm for Local Community Detection in Graphs : NOTES
**Community detection methods** can be *global* or *local*. **Global community detection methods** divide the entire graph into groups. Existing global algorithms include:
- Random walk methods
- Spectral partitioning
- Label propagation
- Greedy agglomerative and divisive algorithms
- Clique percolation
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/b4316609265b5b9f88027bbc491f80b6
There is a growing body of work in *detecting overlapping communities*. **Seed set expansion** is a **local community detection method** where a relevant *seed vertices* of interest are picked and *expanded to form communities* surrounding them. The quality of each community is measured using a *fitness function*.
**Modularity** is a *fitness function* which compares the number of intra-community edges to the expected number in a random-null model. **Conductance** is another popular fitness score that measures the community cut or inter-community edges. Many *overlapping community detection* methods **use a modified ratio** of intra-community edges to all edges with atleast one endpoint in the community.
Andersen et al. use a **Spectral PageRank-Nibble method** which minimizes conductance and is formed by adding vertices in order of decreasing PageRank values. Andersen and Lang develop a **random walk approach** in which some vertices in the seed set may not be placed in the final community. Clauset gives a **greedy method** that *starts from a single vertex* and then iteratively adds neighboring vertices *maximizing the local modularity score*. Riedy et al. **expand multiple vertices** via maximizing modularity.
Several algorithms for **detecting global, overlapping communities** use a *greedy*, *agglomerative approach* and run *multiple separate seed set expansions*. Lancichinetti et al. run **greedy seed set expansions**, each with a *single seed vertex*. Overlapping communities are produced by a sequentially running expansions from a node not yet in a community. Lee et al. use **maximal cliques as seed sets**. Havemann et al. **greedily expand cliques**.
The authors of this paper discuss a dynamic approach for **community detection using seed set expansion**. Simply marking the neighbours of changed vertices is a **naive approach**, and has *severe shortcomings*. This is because *communities can split apart*. The simple updating method *may fail even when it outputs a valid community* in the graph.
Scalable Static and Dynamic Community Detection Using Grappolo : NOTES
A **community** (in a network) is a subset of nodes which are _strongly connected among themselves_, but _weakly connected to others_. Neither the number of output communities nor their size distribution is known a priori. Community detection methods can be divisive or agglomerative. **Divisive methods** use _betweeness centrality_ to **identify and remove bridges** between communities. **Agglomerative methods** greedily **merge two communities** that provide maximum gain in _modularity_. Newman and Girvan have introduced the **modularity metric**. The problem of community detection is then reduced to the problem of modularity maximization which is **NP-complete**. **Louvain method** is a variant of the _agglomerative strategy_, in that is a _multi-level heuristic_.
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/917a1a4a429e89a0f2a1911cea56314d
In this paper, the authors discuss **four heuristics** for Community detection using the _Louvain algorithm_ implemented upon recently developed **Grappolo**, which is a parallel variant of the Louvain algorithm. They are:
- Vertex following and Minimum label
- Data caching
- Graph coloring
- Threshold scaling
With the **Vertex following** heuristic, the _input is preprocessed_ and all single-degree vertices are merged with their corresponding neighbours. This helps reduce the number of vertices considered in each iteration, and also help initial seeds of communities to be formed. With the **Minimum label heuristic**, when a vertex is making the decision to move to a community and multiple communities provided the same modularity gain, the community with the smallest id is chosen. This helps _minimize or prevent community swaps_. With the **Data caching** heuristic, community information is stored in a vector instead of a map, and is reused in each iteration, but with some additional cost. With the **Vertex ordering via Graph coloring** heuristic, _distance-k coloring_ of graphs is performed in order to group vertices into colors. Then, each set of vertices (by color) is processed _concurrently_, and synchronization is performed after that. This enables us to mimic the behaviour of the serial algorithm. Finally, with the **Threshold scaling** heuristic, _successively smaller values of modularity threshold_ are used as the algorithm progresses. This allows the algorithm to converge faster, and it has been observed a good modularity score as well.
From the results, it appears that _graph coloring_ and _threshold scaling_ heuristics do not always provide a speedup and this depends upon the nature of the graph. It would be interesting to compare the heuristics against baseline approaches. Future work can include _distributed memory implementations_, and _community detection on streaming graphs_.
Application Areas of Community Detection: A Review : NOTES
This is a short review of Community detection methods (on graphs), and their applications. A **community** is a subset of a network whose members are *highly connected*, but *loosely connected* to others outside their community. Different community detection methods *can return differing communities* these algorithms are **heuristic-based**. **Dynamic community detection** involves tracking the *evolution of community structure* over time.
https://gist.github.com/wolfram77/09e64d6ba3ef080db5558feb2d32fdc0
Communities can be of the following **types**:
- Disjoint
- Overlapping
- Hierarchical
- Local.
The following **static** community detection **methods** exist:
- Spectral-based
- Statistical inference
- Optimization
- Dynamics-based
The following **dynamic** community detection **methods** exist:
- Independent community detection and matching
- Dependent community detection (evolutionary)
- Simultaneous community detection on all snapshots
- Dynamic community detection on temporal networks
**Applications** of community detection include:
- Criminal identification
- Fraud detection
- Criminal activities detection
- Bot detection
- Dynamics of epidemic spreading (dynamic)
- Cancer/tumor detection
- Tissue/organ detection
- Evolution of influence (dynamic)
- Astroturfing
- Customer segmentation
- Recommendation systems
- Social network analysis (both)
- Network summarization
- Privary, group segmentation
- Link prediction (both)
- Community evolution prediction (dynamic, hot field)

Community Detection on the GPU : NOTES
This paper discusses a GPU implementation of the Louvain community detection algorithm. Louvain algorithm obtains hierachical communities as a dendrogram through modularity optimization. Given an undirected weighted graph, all vertices are first considered to be their own communities. In the first phase, each vertex greedily decides to move to the community of one of its neighbours which gives greatest increase in modularity. If moving to no neighbour's community leads to an increase in modularity, the vertex chooses to stay with its own community. This is done sequentially for all the vertices. If the total change in modularity is more than a certain threshold, this phase is repeated. Once this local moving phase is complete, all vertices have formed their first hierarchy of communities. The next phase is called the aggregation phase, where all the vertices belonging to a community are collapsed into a single super-vertex, such that edges between communities are represented as edges between respective super-vertices (edge weights are combined), and edges within each community are represented as self-loops in respective super-vertices (again, edge weights are combined). Together, the local moving and the aggregation phases constitute a stage. This super-vertex graph is then used as input fof the next stage. This process continues until the increase in modularity is below a certain threshold. As a result from each stage, we have a hierarchy of community memberships for each vertex as a dendrogram.
Approaches to perform the Louvain algorithm can be divided into coarse-grained and fine-grained. Coarse-grained approaches process a set of vertices in parallel, while fine-grained approaches process all vertices in parallel. A coarse-grained hybrid-GPU algorithm using multi GPUs has be implemented by Cheong et al. which grabbed my attention. In addition, their algorithm does not use hashing for the local moving phase, but instead sorts each neighbour list based on the community id of each vertex.

Fast Incremental Community Detection on Dynamic Graphs : NOTES
In this paper, the authors describe two approaches for dynamic community detection using the CNM algorithm. CNM is a hierarchical, agglomerative algorithm that greedily maximizes modularity. They define two approaches: BasicDyn and FastDyn. BasicDyn backtracks merges of communities until each marked (changed) vertex is its own singleton community. FastDyn undoes a merge only if the quality of merge, as measured by the induced change in modularity, has significantly decreased compared to when the merge initially took place. FastDyn also allows more than two vertices to contract together if in the previous time step these vertices eventually ended up contracted in the same community. In the static case, merging several vertices together in one contraction phase could lead to deteriorating results. FastDyn is able to do this, however, because it uses information from the merges of the previous time step. Intuitively, merges that previously occurred are more likely to be acceptable later.

Basic Computer Architecture and the Case for GPUs : NOTES
Computer architectures are facing issues:
Memory latencies are far higher.
Benefits from instruction level parallelism (ILP) is reducing.
With increasing clock rates, power consumption is increasing.
Increasing complexity with multi-stage pipelines, intermediate buffers, multi-level caches, out-of-order execution, branch prediction, ...
GPUs are parallel computer architectures that are good at some tasks, not so good at others. Running routines with high arithmetic intensity with overlapped memory access is the preferred approach. They may be unsuitable for irregular algorithms, where it is difficult to get high efficiency due to the high latency of accesses. They are less versatile compared to CPUs, using SIMD parallelism, and are dense compute-wise (per currency). NVIDIA's CUDA programming model enables GPUs to be used for general-purpose computing, and hence the term GPGPU.
