HPC Graph Toolkits and the GraphBLAS Forum

Abstract

Government agencies, industry and academia are demanding a new generation of tools to efficiently solve large scale analytics problems in a variety of business, scientific and national security applications. This BoF gathers the community developing high-performance frameworks and workflows for large scale graph analytics to survey current approaches, identify new challenges and opportunities, and discuss interoperability of emerging infrastructures. A central goal is developing requirements and recommendations for future tools. As in previous editions, this BoF will explore, and compare and contrast conventional implementations as well as algebraic approaches, inviting the GraphBLAS community to discuss its state and evolution.
