Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we have developed graph parallel processing techniques that focus on the properties of real-world graph data, and have developed methods for accelerating various query processing problems for large-scale graphs. Specifically, we addressed (1) community search queries for large unweighted undirected graphs, (2) similarity search queries for heterogeneous graphs, (3) dense subgraph search queries for attributed graphs, and (4) range queries for complex networks, and we have developed a set of fast and scalable algorithms for distributed parallel environments. All of the results from (1) to (4) are 10 to 10,000 times faster than conventional methods while guaranteeing the same level of query processing quality.
