Distributed Edge Partitioning for Trillion-edge Graphs

Summary: Distributed NE is a parallel graph partitioner for trillion-edge graphs, using a parallel expansion to grow partitions from seeds while minimizing local vertex cuts. The method enjoys a theoretical upper bound on quality and outperforms state-of-the-art distributed partitioners. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
