GRAPE: Parallelizing Sequential Graph Computations
Summary: GRAPE parallelizes sequential graph algorithms via a simultaneous fixed-point model, enabling partial/incremental evaluation across the graph. Unlike prior systems, it requires no algorithm rewrites; under monotonicity it terminates with correct results for plugged-in sequential algorithms; demonstrates performance vs state-of-the-art and a social-media marketing use case.
