abstract: >-
  GraphScope is a system and a set of language extensions
  that enable a new programming interface for large-scale
  distributed graph computing. It generalizes previous graph
  processing frameworks (e.g., Pregel, GraphX) and
  distributed graph databases (e.g., JanusGraph, Neptune) in
  two important ways: by exposing a unified programming
  interface to a wide variety of graph computations such as
  graph traversal, pattern matching, iterative algorithms,
  and graph neural networks within a high-level programming
  language; and by supporting the seamless integration of a
  highly optimized graph engine in a general purpose
  data-parallel computing system.

  A GraphScope program is a sequential program composed of
  declarative data-parallel operators and can be written
  using standard Python development tools. The system
  automatically handles the parallelization and distributed
  execution of programs on a cluster of machines. It
  outperforms current state-of-the-art systems by enabling a
  separate optimization (or family of optimizations) for
  each graph operation in one carefully designed coherent
  framework. We describe the design and implementation of
  GraphScope and evaluate system performance using several
  real-world applications.
