Social Hash Partitioner: A Scalable Distributed Hypergraph Partitioner
Summary: Social Hash Partitioner: scalable distributed hypergraph partitioner minimizing fanout with a probabilistic objective, enabling a simple local search. Handles billions of vertices/edges in hours, scales with machine count, and outperforms rivals by ~100x on the same hardware; open-source recursive-bisection.
