Abstract

The subject disclosure is directed towards performing connected components in hardware, such as an FPGA, which is facilitated by a linked list structure that does not grow. During a connected components graph labeling process, when a merge is encountered, the data structure comprising labels and associated equivalency data swaps the equivalency data of the two vertices whose different labels produced the merge condition.
