Novel Parallel Algorithms for Fast Multi-GPU-Based Generation of Massive Scale-Free Networks

Abstract A novel parallel algorithm is presented for generating random scale-free networks using the preferential attachment model. The algorithm, named cuPPA, is custom-designed for “single instruction multiple data (SIMD)” style of parallel processing supported by modern processors such as graphic...
