Large Graph Processing in the Cloud
Summary: Surfer is a cloud-based large-graph engine combining MapReduce (vertex-oriented) and propagation (edge-oriented) for iterative workloads. It provides high-level building blocks, a GUI for visual task composition, and automated plan optimization with visualization to compare MapReduce vs propagation on social networks.
