Distributed Subgraph Matching on Timely Dataflow

Summary: Four distributed subgraph-matching strategies and three general-purpose optimizations identified and implemented on Timely dataflow for unified, strategy-level comparison. Extensive experiments on unlabelled and labelled matching across settings yield a practical guide for selecting approaches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
