Traditional approaches in parallel SCC detection, however, show limited performance and poor scaling behavior when applied to large real-world graph instances. In this paper, we investigate the shortcomings of the conventional approach and propose a series of extensions that consider the fundamental properties of real-world graphs, e.g. the small-world property. Our scalable implementation offers excellent performance on diverse, small-world graphs resulting in a 5.01x to 29.41x parallel speedup over the optimal sequential algorithm with 16 cores and 32 hardware threads.
