[jira] [Created] (GIRAPH-1135) Implementing Minimum Spanning Tree
in vertex-centric model
Claudio Martella created GIRAPH-1135:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Implementing Minimum Spanning Tree in vertex-centric model
Key: GIRAPH-1135
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-1135
Project: Giraph
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: examples
Reporter: Claudio Martella
Assignee: Claudio Martella
A Minimum Spanning Tree is a tree that spans all the vertices of a connected graph such that the sum of the weights is minimum among all possible such trees. Finding Minimum Spanning Tree on a large graph has many applications. MST algorithm is one of the basic graph algorithms. Currently, Giraph has an implementation of Page Rank algorithm as part of its source code. An implementation of MST algorithm will strengthen our use cases.
Recently Mohsen Ghaffari et al. have shown that MST can be calculated in O(log* n) rounds of communications in Congested Clique model [1]. Congested Clique have been shown to be the impromptu distributed algorithmic model which has direct relations with Pregel. We can try to implement the paradigm in Giraph.
