Abstract

We present a constant-time randomized distributed algorithms in the congested clique model that computes an O(alpha)-vertex-coloring, with high probability. Here, alpha denotes the arboricity of the graph, which is, roughly speaking, the edge-density of the densest subgraph. Congested clique is a well-studied model of synchronous message passing for distributed computing with all-to-all communication: per round each node can send one O(log n)-bit message algorithm to each other node. Our O(1)-round algorithm settles the randomized round complexity of the O(alpha)-coloring problem. We also explain that a similar method can provide a constant-time randomized algorithm for decomposing the graph into O(alpha) edge-disjoint forests, so long as alpha <= n^{1-o(1)}.
