Multilevel <i>k</i>‐way Hypergraph Partitioning 论文

摘要

In this paper, we present a new multilevel k ‐way hypergraph partitioning algorithm that substantially outperforms the existing state‐of‐the‐art K‐PM/LR algorithm for multi‐way partitioning, both for optimizing local as well as global objectives. Experiments on the ISPD98 benchmark suite show that the partitionings produced by our scheme are on the average 15% to 23% better than those produced by the K‐PM/LR algorithm, both in terms of the hyperedge cut as well as the ( K – 1) metric. Furthermore, our algorithm is significantly faster, requiring 4 to 5 times less time than that required by K‐PM/LR.
