Abstract

Graph partitioning involves decomposing a relational graph into smaller graphs, subject to domain-specific parameters and constraints. There are a number of application areas to include database querying, map coloring, cob allocation, VLSI design, and parallel processing. The primary goal is to unify a portion of these concepts allowing discussion and execution at a more common and abstract level. There are many facets to graph partitioning. Typical areas include the number of partitions, the size of a partition, number of inter-partition connections, and the amount of replication involved. These and many other factors must be considered when generating a partitioning algorithm. We propose an abstract graph partitioning model, the AGPM.
