A generalized GPU-based connected component labeling algorithm

Abstract: We propose a generalized GPU-based connected component labeling (CCL) algorithm that can be applied to both various lattices and to non-lattice environments in a uniform fashion. We extend our recent GPU-based CCL algorithm without the use of conventional iteration to the generalized method. As an application of this algorithm, we deal with the bond percolation problem. We investigate bond percolation on the honeycomb and triangle lattices to confirm the correctness of this algorithm. Moreover, we deal with bond percolation on the Bethe lattice as a substitute for a network structure, and demonstrate the performance of this algorithm on those lattices.
