Graph component labeling, which is a subset of the general graph coloring problem, is a computationally expensive operation in many important applications and simulations. A number of data-parallel algorithmic variations to the component labeling problem are possible and we explore their use with general purpose graphical processing units (GPGPUs) and with the CUDA GPU programming language. We discuss implementation issues and performance results on CPUs and GPUs using CUDA. We evaluated our system with real-world graphs. We show how to consider different architectural features of the GPU and the host CPUs and achieve high performance.
