Abstract
Induced subgraph detection is a widely studied set of problems in theoretical
computer science, with applications in e.g. social networks, molecular
biology and other domains that use graph representations. Our focus lies
on practical comparison of some well-known deterministic algorithms to
recent Monte Carlo algorithms for detecting subgraphs on three and four
vertices. For algorithms that involve operations with adjacency matrices,
we study the gain of applying word parallelism, i.e. exploiting the parallel
nature of common processor operations such as bitwise conjunction and
disjunction. We present results of empirical running times for our implementations
of the algorithms. Our results reveal insights as to when the

applying word parallelism. (Less)
