Abstract

Several important combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in discrete graphical models. We adopt the recently proposed parallel MAP inference algorithm Bethe-ADMM and implement it using message passing interface (MPI) to fully utilize the computing power provided by the modern supercomputers with thousands of cores. The empirical results show that our parallel implementation scales almost linearly even with thousands of cores.
