Experimental Analysis of Distributed Graph Systems

Summary: Independent scale-out evaluation of eight parallel graph systems (Hadoop, HaLoop, Vertica, Giraph, GraphLab/PowerGraph, Blogel, Flink Gelly, GraphX) on four large graphs (Twitter, World Road Network, UK-200705, ClueWeb) with PageRank, WCC, SSSP, and K-hop. Reports performance, usability, and scalability up to 128 machines with tuning heuristics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
