The SNU-Samsung Electronics SW Joint Research Center, Center for Intelligent Computing(CIC) is hosting the following invitational seminar with Haixun Wang of Microsoft as the speaker. We await the participation of all those who are interested.
▶Topic: Web-Scale Graph Computation and Its Challenges
▶Lecturer: Haixun Wang (Researcher, Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, China)
▶Date and Time: Thursday, November 24th, 2011. 10:30 ~ 12:00 a.m.
▶Venue: S-Lab (Room 315, Building 301)
▶Abstract
We are handling large and complex data. A lot of the data is represented by graphs, and thus, graph computation has become a challenging problem. In this talk, I will introduce the Trinity system that is developed at Microsoft Research to address this need. Trinity is a graph database and computation platform over distributed memory cloud, and it can be deployed on one machine or hundreds of machines in a cluster. As a database, it provides features such as highly concurrent query processing and transaction processing. As a computation platform, it provides synchronous and asynchronous batch-mode computations on large scale graphs. In this talk, I will introduce the design of Trinity, present a demo on social graph search, and I will talk about applications we are building on top of Trinity, including graph search, sub-graph matching, etc. In addition, I will introduce some ongoing work, including Trinity for Azure, and Trinity for RDF.
