This paper presents GRAPE, a parallel system for graph computations. GRAPE differs from prior systems in its ability to parallelize existing sequential graph algorithms as a whole. Underlying GRAPE are a simple programming model and a principled approach, based on partial evaluation and incremental computation. We show that sequential graph algorithms can be "plugged into" GRAPE with minor changes, and get parallelized. As long as the sequential algorithms are correct, their GRAPE parallelization guarantees to ter…
