GoldenOrb

GoldenOrb is a cloud-based platform for massive-scale graph algorithm execution, built upon best-of-breed software from the Apache Hadoop project and modeled after Google’s Pregel architecture. It efficiently pulls datasets reflecting billions of Vertex/Edge objects into distributed memory, for example from HDFS or Cassandra, and executes repeated computations at each Vertex, passing messages between connected nodes as the system finds an optimal answer. GoldenOrb finds solutions to convergent graph problems like PageRank and Shortest Path rapidly and cheaply.
