Janus: Transactional Processing of Navigational and Analytical Graph Queries on Many-core Servers
Summary: Janus is a scale-up graph engine for many-core, large‑memory servers that provides transactional processing for short navigational (e.g., nearest‑neighbor) and long analytical (e.g., PageRank) graph queries. Architected to run both types concurrently, it achieves excellent scale‑up performance on navigational, analytical, and mixed workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
