Scalable Distributed String Sorting

Authors: Florian Kurpicz, Pascal Mehnert, Peter Sanders, and Matthias Schimek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)


Abstract
String sorting is an important part of tasks such as building index data structures. Unfortunately, current string sorting algorithms do not scale to massively parallel distributed-memory machines since they either have latency (at least) proportional to the number of processors p or communicate the data a large number of times (at least logarithmic). We present practical and efficient algorithms for distributed-memory string sorting that scale to large p. Similar to state-of-the-art sorters for atomic objects, the algorithms have latency of about p^{1/k} when allowing the data to be communicated k times. Experiments indicate good scaling behavior on a wide range of inputs on up to 49152 cores. Overall, we achieve speedups of up to 4.9 over the current state-of-the-art distributed string sorting algorithms.

Move-r: Optimizing the r-index

Authors: Nico Bertram, Johannes Fischer, and Lukas Nalbach

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 301, 22nd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2024)


Abstract
We present a static text index called Move-r, which is a highly optimized version of the r-index ([Travis Gagie et al., 2020] Gagie et al., 2020) that encorporates recent theoretical developments of the move data structure ([Takaaki Nishimoto and Yasuo Tabei, 2021] Nishimoto and Tabei, 2021). The r-index is the method of choice for indexing highly repetitive texts, such as different versions of a text document or DNA from the same species, as it exploits the compressibilty of the underlying data. With Move-r, we can answer count- and locate queries 2-35 (typically 15) times as fast as with any other r-index supporting locate queries while being 0.8-2.5 (typically 2) times as large. A Move-r index can be constructed 0.9-2 (typically 2) times as fast while using 1/3-1 (typically 1/2) times as much space.

In-Place Parallel Super Scalar Samplesort (IPSSSSo)

Authors: Michael Axtmann, Sascha Witt, Daniel Ferizovic, and Peter Sanders

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 87, 25th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2017)


Abstract
We present a sorting algorithm that works in-place, executes in parallel, is cache-efficient, avoids branch-mispredictions, and performs work O(n log n) for arbitrary inputs with high probability. The main algorithmic contributions are new ways to make distribution-based algorithms in-place: On the practical side, by using coarse-grained block-based permutations, and on the theoretical side, we show how to eliminate the recursion stack. Extensive experiments shw that our algorithm IPSSSSo scales well on a variety of multi-core machines. We outperform our closest in-place competitor by a factor of up to 3. Even as a sequential algorithm, we are up to 1.5 times faster than the closest sequential competitor, BlockQuicksort.
