SUMMARY:Recursive Algebraic Coloring Engine
DESCRIPTION:ACM Student Research Competition, Poster\nTech Program Reg Pas
 s, Exhibits Reg Pass\n\nRecursive Algebraic Coloring Engine\n\nAlappat\n\n
 Many iterative numerical methods for sparse systems and building blocks of
  sparse linear algebra are difficult to parallelize due to data dependenci
 es. These may be loop-carried dependencies as they occur in solvers like G
 auss-Seidel or write conflicts as in symmetric sparse matrix vector.  Most
  of the existing parallelization strategies suffer from low performance on
  modern hardware, are matrix specific, or require tailored storage formats
 .\n\nIn this poster, we introduce a novel recursive level based algorithm 
 called Recursive Algebraic Coloring (RAC), which achieves high hardware ef
 ficiency on modern multi-core architectures and works with simple data for
 mats like compressed row storage. Method is implemented in a library calle
 d Recursive Algebraic Coloring Engine (RACE).  Thorough performance analys
 is shows that RACE outperforms traditional multicoloring methods and Intel
 -MKL implementations with a factor of 2–2.5×. We are on par with Algebraic
  Block Multicoloring for small matrices, while for large matrices we gain 
 a factor of 1.5–2×.
