Abstract: In this paper we present a Helper Threading scheme used to parallelize efficiently Kruskal's Minimum Spanning Forest algorithm. This algorithm is known for exhibiting inherently sequential ...

Kruskal’s algorithm finds a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) by building it edge by edge, always choosing the cheapest edge that doesn’t create a cycle. Sorting all edges in the graph from smallest weight ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

You are the benevolent ruler of The Republic of Graphistan, and you want to modernize the roads between cities—widening them, repaving them, turning them into superhighways. But it’s complicated. When ...

The looming challenges of quantum computing have prompted the Java Platform to implement two advanced cryptographic solutions in its upcoming release, Java 24, slated for March 2025. Quantum computers ...

Three new books warn against turning into the person the algorithm thinks you are. Like a lot of Netflix subscribers, I find that my personal feed tends to be hit or miss. Usually more miss. The ...

Algorithms have taken on an almost mythical significance in the modern world. They determine what you see on social media and when browsing online, help form people’s belief systems, and impact the ...
