Linear Algebra Approaches for Directed Triad Counting and Enumeration Workshop Paper
The paper has been accepted for IA3 2024.
Triangle counting and enumeration are commonly used in real-world applications on directed graphs. However, the performance of triangle counting algorithms is usually benchmarked on undirected graphs. As such, many of these algorithms and formulations are not suitable for identifying the types of directed triangles in directed graphs. In this work, we show how algorithms for counting each type of directed triad (directed triangle) can be formulated using linear algebra. Leveraging the FLAME methodology, we show that provably correct counting and enumeration algorithms for directed triads can be derived from the linear algebraic formulation. These algorithms can be used to either count individual triads or together to count all possible triads. We show that despite being designed for individual use, the combined use of these algorithms yields a speedup of 16.77x to 1122.2x over the implementation in NetworkX, and 0.37x to 33.49x over GraphBLAS implementations using SuiteSparse 7.2 on various workloads from real-world directed graphs.

Exploiting Fusion Opportunities in Linear Algebraic Graph Query Engines Conference Paper
The paper has been accepted for IEEE HPEC 2023.
Queries in a graph database are often converted into a sequence of graph operations by a graph query engine. In recent years, it has been recognized that the query engine benefits from using high-performance graph libraries via the GraphBLAS interface to implement time-consuming operations such as graph traversal. However, using GraphBLAS requires explicitly casting data into linear algebra objects and decomposing the query into multiple operations, some of which are expressible by the GraphBLAS. The combination of these two requirements translates into increased memory footprints and additional execution times. In this paper, we show that fusing different stages of the query engines into GraphBLAS calls can reduce the size of the intermediate data generated during the query. Furthermore, by relaxing the semi-ring constraints imposed by GraphBLAS, more aggressive fusions of the stages can be performed. We show a speedup of up to 1235.89x (8.82x on geometric average) relative to an open-source graph query engine using GraphBLAS (i.e. RedisGraph) for processing undirected subgraph enumeration queries.

Opportunities for Linear Algebraic Graph Databases Extended Abstract
The abstract has been accepted for ARRAY
2023.
In recent years, there has been renewed interest in casting graph algorithms in the language of linear algebra. By replacing the computations with appropriate operations over different semi-rings, different graph algorithms can be cast as a sequence of linear algebra operations. In this work, we study the use of the linear algebraic approach to graph algorithms within the context of graph database systems. Specifically, we identify the issues with using existing linear algebraic graph libraries, such as SuiteSparse, which conform to the GraphBLAS specifications. We also highlight gaps between the GraphBLAS specification and computations that are required by the graph query algorithms utilized in graph databases. We show that overcoming these challenges in using a linear algebraic approach within a graph database system can lead to significant performance improvements to an open-source graph database system.
