Multi-stage pipelining for distributed graph processing

Abstract:

Techniques are described herein for evaluating graph processing tasks using a multi-stage pipelining communication mechanism. In a multi-node system comprising a plurality of nodes, each node of said plurality of nodes executes a respective communication agent object. The respective communication agent object comprises: a sender lambda function is configured to perform sending operations and generate source messages based on the sender operations. An intermediate lambda function is configured to read source messages marked for a node, perform intermediate operations based on the source messages and generate intermediate messages based on the intermediate operations. A final receiver lambda function configured to: read intermediate messages marked for said each node, perform final operations based on the intermediate messages and generate a final result based on the final operations.
