The Parallel Complexity of Simple Chain Queries (Extended Abstract)

Summary: Classifies the parallel complexity of simple chain DATALOG queries (variants of transitive closure), proving some variants are in NC while others are P-complete. Provides a taxonomy to guide which recursive DATALOG programs admit efficient massively-parallel evaluation and compiler/implementation strategies. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
