The problem(2)
Mapping nodes of a data structure on a parallel memory system in such a
way that data can be efficiently accessed by templates.
Templates: distinct sets of nodes (for arrays: rows, columns,
diagonals, submatrix; for trees: subtrees, simple paths, levels; etc).
Formally: Let GD be the graph that describes the data structure D. A
template t, for D is defined such as a subgraph of GD and
each subgraph of GD isomorphous to t will be called instance
of t-template.

Efficiently: few(or no) conflicts (i.e. few processors need to access the
same memory module at the same time).

How a mapping algorithm should be:
Efficient: the number of conflicts for each instance of the considered
template type should be minimized.
 Versatile: should allow efficient data access by an algorithm that uses
different templates.
 Balancing Memory Load: it should balance the number of data items
stored in each memory module.
 Allow for Fast Memory Address Retrieval: algorithms for retrieving the
memory module where a given data item is stored should be simple and
fast.
 Use memory efficiently: for fixed size templates, it should use the
same number of memory modules as the size.

Why the versatility?
Multi-programmed parallel machines: different set of processors run
different programs and access different templates.
 Algorithms using different templates: in manipulating arrays, for
example,accessing lines (i.e. rows and columns) is common.
 Composite templates: some templates are “composite”, e.g. the
Range-query template consisting of a path with complete subtrees
attached.

A versatile algorithm is likely to perform well on that...

Research in this field originated with strategies for mapping twodimensional arrays into parallel memories.
Euler latin square (1778): conflict-free (CF) access to lines (rows and
columns).
 Budnik, Kuck (IEEE TC 1971): skewing distance
 CF access to lines and some subblocks.
 Lawrie (IEEE TC 1975): skewing distance
 CF access to lines and main diagonals.
 requires 2N modules for N data items.

 CF access for arbitrary subarrays: for r > s r × s and s × r
subarrays.
 Lower Bound: for any CF mapping algorithm for arrays, where
templates are r × s and s × r subarrays ( r > s ) and lines requires
n > rs + s memory modules.
 Corollary: more than one-seventh of the memory modules are
idle when any mapping is used that is CF for lines, r × s and s × r
subarrays ( r > s ).

These source offer strategies that scale with the number of memory module
so that the number of available modules changes with the problem instance.

Our results: Templates
We study templates that can be viewed as generalizing array-blocks
and “paths” originating from the origin vertex <0,0>:
 Chaotic array (C): A (two-dimensional) chaotic array C is an
undirected graph whose vertex-set VC is a subset of N × N that is
order-closed, in the sense that for each vertex <r, s> ≠ <0, 0> of C,
the set

Ragged array (R): A (two-dimensional) ragged array R is a
chaotic array whose vertex-set VR satisfies the following:
 if <v1 , v2 >  VR , then {v1} × [v2]  VR;
 if <v1 , 0 >  VR , then [v1] × {0}  VR;

 pixel maps;
 lists of names where the table change shape dynamically;
 relational table in relational database.

Our results: c-contraction
For any integer c > 0 , a c-contraction of an array A is a graph G that
is obtained from A as follows.
 Rename A as G(0). Set k = 0.
 Pick a set S of  c vertices of G(k) that were vertices of A.
Replace these vertices by a single vertex vS; replace all edges of
G(k) that are incident to vertices of S by edges that are incident to
vS. The graph so obtained is G(k+1)
 Iterate step 2 some number of times; G is the final G(k).

A=G(0)

Our results: some definitions
Our results are achieved by proving a (more general) result, of
independent interest, about the sizes of graphs that are “almost”
perfect universal for arrays.

A graph Gc= (Vc, Ec) is c-perfect-universal for the family An if for each
array A  An exists a c-contraction of A that is a labeled-subgraph of Gc.

An denotes the family of arrays having n or fewer vertices.

Our results: c-perfection number
The c-perfection number for An, denoted Perfc(An), is the size of the
smallest graph that is c-perfect-universal for the family An
