Synopsis:
In the sphere of modern data science and applications, graph algorithms hav=
e achieved a pivotal place in advancing the state of scientific discovery a=
nd knowledge. Nearly three centuries of ideas have made graph theory and it=
s applications a mature area in computational sciences. Yet, today we find =
ourselves at crossroads between theory and application. Spurred by the digi=
tal revolution, data from over a diverse range of high throughput channels =
and devices, from across internet-scale applications, are starting to mark =
a new era in data-driven computing and discovery. Building robust graph mod=
els and implementing scalable graph application frameworks in the context o=
f this new era are proving to be significant challenges. Concomitant to the=
 digital revolution, we have also experienced an explosion in computing arc=
hitectures, with a broad range of multicores, manycores, heterogeneous plat=
forms and hardware accelerators (CPUs, GPUs) being actively developed and d=
eployed within servers and multinode clusters. Recent advances have started=
 to show that in more than one way, these two fields - graph theory and arc=
hitectures - are capable of benefiting and in fact spurring new research di=
rections in one another.

This special issue invites original research papers and authoritative posit=
ion/survey papers that showcase cutting-edge research at the intersection o=
f graph algorithms, graph applications and advanced architectures. Research=
 topics of particular interest include (but not limited to):

-       Design of efficient, scalable architectures for graph-theoretic pro=
cessing
-       Models and approaches for accelerated graph construction on chip
-       Characterization of graph operations based on computational charact=
eristics
-       Hardware and algorithmic techniques to reduce latency and to improv=
e data locality
-       Comparative evaluation of hardware architectures for different grap=
h operations
-       Efficient approaches to utilize heterogeneous architectures for gra=
ph computing
-       Communication-reducing techniques and paradigms for large-scale gra=
ph applications
-       Power and energy efficiency of graph operations on chip
-       Processing dynamic graphs and graph streams on chip
-       High-end graph applications using high performance architectures an=
d platforms
