Topic: "Accelerating Graph Analysis on GPUs"Speaker: Jinhui Qin, SHARCNETVideo link --- Graph analysis plays a critical role in many applications across various domains, ranging from social network analysis to bioinformatics, to fraud detection, to cybersecurity, to recommendation systems, etc.  NetworkX is the go-to library for graph analysis in Python. However, when dataset and graph sizes grow, the performance of using NetworkX becomes a significant concern. This webinar introduces NVIDIA cuGraph for accelerating graph analysis on GPUs. Moreover, a recent integration of NetworkX with cuGraph, named nx-cugraph, allows accelerating workflows in NetworkX on GPUs with zero code changes. A live demo will be done on the clusters.---The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
