Synchronization in graph analysis algorithms on the Partially Ordered Event‐Triggered Systems many‐core architecture by Ashur Rafiev, Alex Yakovlev, Ghaith Tarawneh, Matthew F. Naylor, Simon W. Moore, David B. Thomas, Graeme M. Bragg, Mark L. Vousden, Andrew D. Brown

“…Our experiments show that some graph applications favour synchronized communication, but the effect is hard to predict in general because of the interplay between multiple hardware and software factors. A classifier model is therefore proposed and implemented to perform such a prediction based on the application graph topology parameters: graph diameter, degree of connectivity, and reconvergence metric. …”
