Summary
The pagerank algorithm for determining the importance of web pages has become
a central technique in web search. This algorithm uses the power method to compute
successive iterates that converge to the principal eigenvector of the Markov chain representing
the web link graph. In this paper we present an effective heuristic relaxed
and extrapolated algorithm based on the power method that accelerates its convergence.
Two strategies of data distribution have been used: row-wise partitioning and
nonzero elements partitioning. An hybrid parallel implementation has been designed
by combining various OpenMP threads for each MPI process. The results show that
the proposed algorithms can speed up the convergence time significantly with respect
to the parallel Power algorithm.
