<para>We study the graph traversal problem by visiting each vertex in parallel following their edge dependencies. Traversing a graph is a fundamental building block of many graph applications especially for large-scale graph analytics.</para>
<sect1 id="graphtraversal_1GraphTraversalProblemFormulation">
<title>Problem Formulation</title>
<para>Given a directed acyclic graph (DAG), i.e., a graph that has no cycles, we would like to traverse each vertex in order without breaking dependency constraints defined by edges. The following figure shows a graph of six vertices and seven edges. Each vertex represents a particular task and each edge represents a task dependency between two tasks.</para>
<para><dotfile name="/home/thuang295/Code/taskflow/doxygen/images/task-level-parallelism.dot"></dotfile>
</para>
<para>Traversing the above graph in parallel, the maximum parallelism we can acquire is three. When Task1 finishes, we can run Task2, Task3, and Task4 in parallel.</para>

<title>Static Traversal</title>
<para>We create a taskflow to traverse the graph using static tasks (see <ref refid="StaticTasking" kindref="compound">Static Tasking</ref>). Each task does nothing but marks <computeroutput>visited</computeroutput> to <computeroutput>true</computeroutput> and subtracts <computeroutput>dependents</computeroutput> from one, both of which are used for validation after the graph is traversed. In practice, this computation may be replaced with a heavy function.</para>

<para>The code above has two parts to construct the parallel graph traversal. First, it iterates each node and constructs a traversal task for that node. Second, it iterates each outgoing edge of a node and creates a dependency between the node and the other end (successor) of that edge. The resulting taskflow structure is topologically equivalent to the given graph.</para>

<para>With task parallelism, we flow computation naturally with the graph structure. The runtime autonomously distributes tasks across processor cores to obtain maximum task parallelism. You do not need to worry about details of scheduling.</para>
