This is the case with an important problem in computer science called "graph isomorphism testing" whereby scientists use algorithms to test whether two graphs are the same.

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory.

With the Intel Flow Graph Analyzer and Intel TBB, different portions of the flow of actions can be optimized and made to take advantage of the underlying hardware. The goal is to parallelize as many ...
