Annotation

The breadth-first search (BFS)  is one of the main graph bypass algorithms and the basis for many algorithms of higher-level graph analysis. Breadth-first search on graphs is a problem with irregular memory access and  with irregular data dependency, that significantly complicates its parallelization on all existing architectures. The article will consider the implementation of the breadth-first search algorithm (the main test of Graph500 top) to process large graphs on different architectures: Intel x86, IBM Power8+, Intel KNL and NVidia GPU.  The features of the algorithm implementation on shared memory and graph transformations, which allow to achieve record performance and energy efficiency using this algorithm among all single-node systems  from Graph500 and GreenGraph500 top will be described in the article.
