contents We develop a new algorithm for computing the second discrete homology group of a graph which is much faster when compared to existing algorithms. To do so, we identify five basic shapes, which are quotient graphs of the 3-cube with the property that the injective maps from them detect all possible 2-boundaries in the singular chain complex computing discrete homology.
