Evolutionary Acyclic Graph Partitioning

25 Sep 2017  ·  Orlando Moreira, Merten Popp, Christian Schulz ·

Directed graphs are widely used to model data flow and execution dependencies in streaming applications. This enables the utilization of graph partitioning algorithms for the problem of parallelizing computation for multiprocessor architectures. However due to resource restrictions, an acyclicity constraint on the partition is necessary when mapping streaming applications to an embedded multiprocessor. Here, we contribute a multi-level algorithm for the acyclic graph partitioning problem. Based on this, we engineer an evolutionary algorithm to further reduce communication cost, as well as to improve load balancing and the scheduling makespan on embedded multiprocessor architectures.
