It is designed to run on large multi-cores, taking advantage of the inherent parallelism to improve its performance. Grace contains a number of graph-specific and multi-core-specific optimizations including graph partitioning, careful in-memory vertex ordering, updates batching, and load-balancing. It supports queries, searches, iterative computations, and transactional updates. Grace scales to large graphs (e.g., a Hotmail graph with 320 million vertices) and performs up to two orders of magnitude faster than commercial key-value stores and graph databases.}, publisher = {USENIX}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/managing-large-graphs-on-multi-cores-with-graph-awareness/}, edition = {USENIX Annual Technical Conference (USENIX ATC'12)}, }
