TB-Transolver: Parallelized and Coherent Long-Horizon Rollouts via Temporal Bundling for Time-Dependent PDEs
arXiv:2611.04063v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transolver has recently gained widespread adoption for solving diverse physical problems on unstructured geometric meshes by leveraging its Physics-Attention mechanism, which seamlessly extends standard softmax attention to handle physical domains at scale. For time-dependent problems, existing literature relies on time-conditioned or autoregressive rollouts to preserve temporal causality while retaining Physics-Attention as the spatial backbone. However, a fundamental limitation of this formulation is its sequential execution model, wherein computational costs scale linearly with the temporal horizon, rendering standard Transolver inefficient for transient problems despite its exceptional spatial efficacy. This bottleneck has historically hindered its broader application in time-dependent physical modeling. To address this limitation, we introduce TB-Transolver (also referred to as Temporally Bundled Transolver), an efficient framework built on temporal bundling that scales Transolver for time-dependent PDEs. Furthermore, we propose \emph{spatiotemporal coherence} (${\rm C(K)}$) as a general metric to systematically quantify snapshot correlation within a temporal bundle, enabling the \emph{a priori} selection of optimal bundle widths using training data alone, thereby avoiding expensive grid searches. We demonstrate the computational efficacy of TB-Transolver across four physically distinct domains, namely, plasticity, fluid dynamics, reaction-diffusion, and global weather forecasting; achieving training speedups of up to $29\times$ over conventional autoregressive and time-conditioned baselines. Finally, these computational gains are further amplified through distributed multi-node and multi-GPU parallelism, yielding aggregated speedups of up to $45.6\times$ at optimal bundle widths for systems exhibiting high spatiotemporal coherence compared to single-GPU implementations.
FenixWalk: Adaptive Sampling for Large-Scale Dynamic Graphs on Heterogeneous Architectures
arXiv:2611.04683v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Random walks are fundamental to graph analytics, yet executing them efficiently on large, evolving graphs remains challenging. Existing approaches must balance sampling efficiency, update overhead, and memory consumption. Sampling structures optimized for throughput often incur substantial memory overhead and costly maintenance, whereas lightweight alternatives can suffer from high sampling latency on high-degree vertices or skewed weight distributions. These challenges become more pronounced on heterogeneous CPU--GPU platforms, where host memory provides capacity but GPU memory limits the amount of graph data that can benefit from parallel acceleration. We present FenixWalk, a memory-efficient random-walk system that combines unified in-place sampling with selective GPU acceleration for large-scale dynamic graphs. At its core, FenixWalk employs an in-place Fenwick representation that supports both rejection sampling and inverse-transform sampling without duplicating edge-level weight storage. This representation enables expected O(1) weight lookup for rejection sampling, together with O(log d) prefix sampling and updates. To exploit heterogeneous hardware efficiently, FenixWalk maintains the complete graph and its sampling structures in host memory while selectively placing frequently reused vertex-local samplers on the GPU. By transferring compact walker states instead of repeatedly migrating graph partitions, the system reduces cross-device communication and makes effective use of limited GPU memory. Experiments on large real-world graphs and representative random-walk workloads demonstrate that FenixWalk achieves average speedups ranging from 2.06x to 400.57x over existing random-walk systems.
