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.

4. WHY VISIT PARIS?
Paris, capital of France, is one of the
most important and influential cities in the
world. In terms of tourism, Paris is the
second most visited city in Europe after
London.
The capital of France seems to have been
designed specifically for the enjoyment
of its visitors. Its streets, squares,
buildings, gardens and monuments beckon
tourists to return, and indeed, many do.
6. FOUNDATION
The history of Paris dates back to
approximately 259 BC, when the
Parisii, a Celtic tribe settled on
the banks of the Seine. In 52 BC,
the fishermen village
was conquered by the Romans,
founding a Gallo-Roman town
called Lutetia.
The city changed its name to Paris
during the fourth century. During this
period, the city was threatened by
Attila the Hun and his army, and
according to the legend, the
inhabitants of Paris resisted the
attacks thanks to the providential
intervention of Saint Geneviève
(patron saint of the city).
In 508, the first king of the Franks,
Clovis I made Paris the capital of his
empire. In 987, the Capetian dynasty
came to power until 1328.
During the eleventh century, Paris
gradually became more prosper
thanks to its trade in silver and
because it was a strategic route for
pilgrims and traders.
7. THE DECLINE OF THE MONARCHY
As a consequence of the
Fronde, poverty spread
throughout Paris. During
this period, there was an
explosion of the
Enlightenment philosophical
movement, whose principles
are based on reason,
equality and freedom.
Philosophers and
authors such as Voltaire,
Rousseau, Diderot and
Montesquieu fostered the
Enlightenment, creating a
need for a socio-economic
equality that lead to the
revolution and the decline of
the divine right monarchy.
8. PARIS DURING NAPOLEON
During the following fifteen years,
Napoleon enlarged the Place du
Carrousel, built two Arcs de Triomphe, a
column, several markets, the Paris
bourse and a few slaughter houses.
The Napoleonic Wars – and with it the
Empire of Napoleon – ended on 20
November, 1815, after Napoleon was
defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, and
the second Treaty of Paris of 1815 was
signed.
9. URBAN DEVELOPMENT
On the 28 January, 1871, Paris was
conquered by the Prussian troops and a
few years later (at the end of 1800), the
Third Republic was proclaimed. With
the new government, an era of
economic growth began for the city,
promoting the construction of the Eiffel
Tower in 1889, worldwide symbol of
Paris.
10. CONTEMPORARY PARIS
During World War I, the city
resisted the German offensives.
However, in 1940, Paris was
occupied by the Nazis, although
the Parisians resisted and freed
the capital on 25 August ,1944.
During the months of May and June
1968, a series of protests took place in
the capital of France, known as “May
68”. This was the largest student
protest in the history of France and,
possibly, the rest of Western Europe.

38. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
French character is attributed to a certain
arrogance and attitude of superiority: it is
what is known as the Grandeur. The reality
is that their contributions to history, culture,
art, philosophy, literature and gastronomy
are essential.
39. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
PROTOCOL STANDARDS
The form of greeting is the handshake, though not as
strong as in Germany or the United States. When women
are greeted it is not expect that they are offerred the
hand first. Kisses on the cheeks, known as encores,
actually consist on stroking the cheek against each other
and kiss the air three times.
They are used in a context of family and friends. It would be very
impolite to use them with suppliers or customers.
• The expressions most commonly used as greetings are Comment
allez-vous? (How are you ?) and more informally bonjour ( "good
morning", which is also used how hello!) Or ça va? (What?)
40. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
• Treatment is
formal. Persons are presented by name, which precedes the titles of
Monsieur (Lord), Madame (Mrs.) and Mademoiselle (Miss) -this last only
used for young, unmarried girls. These titles are still used during
conversation to address people, sometimes without adding the name.
• It is essential to treat people of You (Vous), although they are known for
some time.
• Eye contact is very frequent and intense, so that foreigners who are not
accustomed to looking in the eye, may feel intimidated.
The exchange of cards is common. French card included in their academic
degrees, especially if they are prestigious schools.
41. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
Sometimes, if it can be avoided it is better not to speak in English because of the great rivalry they have
with the Anglo-Saxon world. It is preferable to try to understand French or Spanish; on the other hand, if
you do not speak French it is desirable to apologize for it, as they have in high esteem their language.
Some topics that can be used as small talk. For example, on the favorable outcome of a local football
team. At the beginning of the conversation is frowned give compliments, ell it turned out the last order.
• It is also good to praise the country in general. Unlike the Germans who believe that "everything
German is good," the French consider that "everything good is French".
• Favorite topics of conversation are history, art, sports (football and cycling) and gastronomy. Should be
prepared to answer witty comments on wines from other countries in relation to the French. Avoid talking
about politics, money or people.
• The most common food business is at noon (déjeuner). It is preferable that the French host that start
business conversation, although it is not frowned upon it does the foreign visitor..
42. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
• The French cuisine is famous worldwide for exquisiteness and variety of their
dishes. In a restaurant the most expensive dish should not be chosen nor forget to
praise the gastronomic delights..
Positive sample some of their favorites as
snails or oysters dishes. One of the most
typical dishes is the cassoulet, roast beef with
beans.
43. NEGOTIATE WITH FRANCE!
• In the table forms should be much beware. Do not eat or drink excessively.
Lettuce is not cut with the knife, folded into small pieces. At the end of the meal a
cheese tray passed: the rule is that you just have to serve once.
• There is no tradition of gifts between companies. In any case delivered once
agreement has been reached -the gifts with the company logo they are not very
prized-.
If you are invited to a house must not take wine or perfume (they are his
specialty). Chocolates, liquor or flowers (roses or chrysanthemums except)
can be a good choice.
