The k-core of a graph is the largest induced sub-graph with minimum degree k. The problem of k-core decomposition finds the k-cores of a graph for all valid values of k, and it has many applications such as network analysis, computational biology and graph visualization. Currently, there are two types of parallel algorithms for k-core decomposition: (1) degree-based vertex peeling, and (2) iterative h-index refinement. There is, however, few studies on accelerating k-core decomposition using GPU. In this paper, we propose a highly optimized peeling algorithm on a GPU, and compare it with possible implementations on top of think-like-a-vertex graph-parallel GPU systems as well as existing serial and parallel k-core decomposition algorithms on CPUs. Extensive experiments show that our GPU algorithm is the overall winner in both time and space. Our source code is released at https://github.com/akhlaqueak/KCoreGPU.
