Deterministic Parallel High-Quality Hypergraph Partitioning

Robert Krause, Lars Gottesbüren, Nikolai Maas

We present a deterministic parallel multilevel algorithm for balanced hypergraph partitioning that matches the state of the art for non-deterministic algorithms. Deterministic para…

Linear-Time Multilevel Graph Partitioning via Edge Sparsification

Lars Gottesbüren, Nikolai Maas, Dominik Rosch +2

The current landscape of balanced graph partitioning is divided into high-quality but expensive multilevel algorithms and cheaper approaches with linear running time, such as singl…

Tera-Scale Multilevel Graph Partitioning

Daniel Salwasser, Daniel Seemaier, Lars Gottesbüren +1

We present TeraPart, a memory-efficient multilevel graph partitioning method that is designed to scale to extremely large graphs. In balanced graph partitioning, the goal is to div…

Unleashing Graph Partitioning for Large-Scale Nearest Neighbor Search

Lars Gottesbüren, Laxman Dhulipala, Rajesh Jayaram +1

We consider the fundamental problem of decomposing a large-scale approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) problem into smaller sub-problems. The goal is to partition the input po…

Parallel Unconstrained Local Search for Partitioning Irregular Graphs

Nikolai Maas, Lars Gottesbüren, Daniel Seemaier

We present new refinement heuristics for the balanced graph partitioning problem that break with an age-old rule. Traditionally, local search only permits moves that keep the block…

Deep Multilevel Graph Partitioning

Lars Gottesbüren, Tobias Heuer, Peter Sanders +2

Partitioning a graph into blocks of "roughly equal" weight while cutting only few edges is a fundamental problem in computer science with a wide range of applications. In particula…

Engineering Exact Quasi-Threshold Editing

Lars Gottesbüren, Michael Hamann, Philipp Schoch +3

Quasi-threshold graphs are -free graphs, i.e., they do not contain any cycle or path of four nodes as an induced subgraph. We study the -free editing pr…

Advanced Flow-Based Multilevel Hypergraph Partitioning

Lars Gottesbüren, Michael Hamann, Sebastian Schlag +1

The balanced hypergraph partitioning problem is to partition a hypergraph into disjoint blocks of bounded size such that the sum of the number of blocks connected by each hyper…

Evaluation of a Flow-Based Hypergraph Bipartitioning Algorithm

Lars Gottesbüren, Michael Hamann, Dorothea Wagner

In this paper, we propose HyperFlowCutter, an algorithm for balanced hypergraph bipartitioning. It is based on minimum S-T hyperedge cuts and maximum flows. It computes a sequence…
