We develop an efficient parallel algorithm for answering shortest-path queries in planar graphs and implement it on a multi-node CPU/GPU clusters. The algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer approach for decomposing the input graph into small…
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a variant of this classical problem in which the position of each…
Given a graph and a pair of terminals $s$, $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem asks for an $s\!\to \!t$ (simple) path that is shortest among all not shortest $s\!\to \!t$ paths (if one exists). This problem was introduced in 1996, and…
