Graphs as Matrices

[BabneetRehal]

Title of the talk/workshop Graphs as Matrices

Abstract of the talk/workshop Graphs and matrices go hand in hand. In this talk, i give an overview of this Graph Matrix duality and how it can used for defining efficient graph processing algorithms.

We'll also briefly look at the GraphBLAS initiative, an ongoing community effort that includes representatives from industry, academia, and government research labs.

The GraphBLAS initiative (launched in 2013) aims to define a standard to capture graph algorithms in the language of linear algebra - following the footsteps of the BLAS standard which, starting four decades ago, revolutionised scientific computing by defining constructs on dense matrices.
