Efficient Load-Balanced Butterfly Counting on GPU
Summary: G-BFC, a GPU-based butterfly counting approach for large bipartite graphs, unlocks the serial region with shared memory. Adaptive load balancing and wedge-reduction preprocessing tackle workload imbalance and wedge traversal, delivering up to 19.8x speedup across eleven real datasets.
