Abstract

Network optimization refers to those optimization problems defined on weighted graphs. In general, the shortest path and max-flow problems have served as critical building blocks in formulating solutions to more complex network optimization problems. In this paper, as the first step in studying and evaluating implementations of network optimization problems on multithreaded multiprocessors, we present a multithreaded implementation of a distributed shortest path algorithm proposed by K.M. Chandy and J. Misra (1982) on the EARTH-MANNA multithreaded architecture, and discuss performance results on the ERTH-MANNA system
