Beschreibung

Mainly due to social and professional networks, graphs have regained a lot of popularity in the past 5 years. With their irregular structure and unpredictable performance, they are a nightmare for parallel systems and a serious challenge for distributed systems. In this talk, we sketch the landscape of large scale graph processing platforms as it stands today, pointing out its peaks and valleys. We provide examples of interesting platforms, discuss their performance and programmability, and make recommendations for their usability. We overview the challenges of benchmarking large scale graph processing platforms, and propose a systematic way to tackle them. We conclude by identifying those gaps in the landscape that lead to promising new directions of research.
