| Abstract: | Combinatorial search is central to many applications yet hard to parallelise. We argue for improving the reuse of parallel searches, and present the design and implementation of a new parallel search framework. YewPar generalises search by abstracting search tree generation, and by providing algorithmic skeletons that support three search types, together with a set of search coordination strategies. The evaluation shows that the cost of YewPar generality is low (6.1%); global knowledge is inexpensively shared between workers; irregular tasks are effectively distributed; and YewPar delivers good runtimes, speedups and efficiency with up to 255 workers on 17 localities. |
