Abstract

As part of my master's thesis, I am dealing with the problem of finding minimum directed spanning trees (MDST) in distributed models such as the k-machine model. Despite having tight results for MST in the k-machine model, the characterization of MDST is still open. To set up a baseline, I will use a conversion theorem by Klauck et al. that simulates algorithms from the Congested Clique (CC) model. The similarity between these two models is also another reason that makes it a promising starting point to study MDST in CC.


To that end, I will talk about the state-of-the-art MDST algorithm in the Congested Clique model of distributed computing, a method by Oshman and Fischer. They show that in this model, MDST can be solved in the same running time as the SSSP problem, with possibly additional polylog factors.
