Abstract

This presentation was given at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Boston, Massachusetts.

An important design goal of the GraphBLAS Template Library (GBTL) is to achieve a separation of concerns between graph algorithm development and performance tuning required for various heterogeneous high-performance computing (HHPC) architectures. In GBTL, the GraphBLAS API specifies the primitive operations and data structures that allow this separation of concerns. We implement this API for both generic CPU systems and GPU systems, and present a number of important graph algorithms written in terms of this API.
