Abstract

In this work, we use algebraic methods for studying distance computation and subgraph detection tasks in the congested clique model. Specifically, we adapt parallel matrix multipliacation implementations to the congested clique, obtaining an O(n1-2/ω) round matrix multiplication algorithm, where ω < 2.3728639 is the exponent of matrix multiplication. In conjunction with known techniques from centralised algorith- mics, this gives significant improvements over previous best upper bounds in the congested clique model. The highlight results include: Triangle and 4-cycle counting in O(n0.158) rounds, imaproving upon the O(n1/3) triangle counting algorithm of Dolev et al. [DISC 2012], a (1 + o(1))-approximation of all-pairs shortest paths in O(n0.158) rounds, improving upon the Õ(n1/2)-round (2+o(1))-approximation algorithm of Nanongkai [STOC 2014], and computing the girth in O(n0.158) rounds, which is the first non-trivial solution in this model. In addition, we present a novel constant-round combinatorial algorithm for detecting 4-cycles.
