​In this talk, I focus on accelerating a widely employed computing pattern — set intersection, to boost a group of relevant graph algorithms. Graph’s adjacency-lists can be naturally considered as node sets, thus set intersection is a primitive operation in many graph algorithms. We propose QFilter, a set intersection algorithm using SIMD instructions. QFilter adopts a merge-based framework and compares two blocks of elements iteratively by SIMD instructions.
