Graph Engine vs. JanusGraph vs. Sparksee vs. V Programming Language Comparison Chart

Graph Engine (GE) is a distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine. The distributed RAM store provides a globally addressable high-performance key-value store over a cluster of machines. Through the RAM store, GE enables the fast random data access power over a large distributed data set. The capability of fast data exploration and distributed parallel computing makes GE a natural large graph processing platform. GE supports both low-latency online query processing and high-throughput offline analytics on billion-node large graphs. Schema does matter when we need to process data efficiently. Strongly-typed data modeling is crucial for compact data storage, fast data access, and clear data semantics. GE is good at managing billions of run-time objects of varied sizes. One byte counts as the number of objects goes large. GE provides fast memory allocation and reallocation with high memory ratios.

Sparksee (formerly known as DEX), makes space and performance compatible with a small footprint and a fast analysis of large networks. It is natively available for .Net, C++, Python, Objective-C and Java, and covers the whole spectrum of Operating Systems. The graph is represented through bitmap data structures that allow high compression rates. Each of the bitmaps is partitioned into chunks that fit into disk pages to improve I/O locality. Using bitmaps, operations are computed with binary logic instructions that simplify the execution in pipelined processors. Full native indexing allows an extremely fast access to each of the graph data structures. Node adjacencies are represented by bitmaps to minimize their footprint. The number of times each data page is brought to memory is minimized with advanced I/O policies. Each value in the database is represented only once, avoiding unnecessary replication.
