an open source project to produce free implementations of
scalable machine learning algorithms on multicore machine and
clusters. The project was initiated in 2009 by Prof. Carlos
Guestrin from Carnegie Mellon University and Prof. Joseph
Hellerstein from University of California, Berkeley. GraphLab is
a rapidly growing project with a large user base. As for October
2011, approximately 2000 institutions around the world installed
Graphlab, including academia, research labs and industry. </p>
<p>As the amounts of collected data and computing power grows
(multicore, GPUs, clusters, clouds), modern datasets no longer
fit into one computing node. Efficient distributed/parallel
algorithms for handling large scale data are required. The
GraphLab framework is a parallel programming abstraction
targeted for sparse iterative graph algorithms. GraphLab
provides a high level programming interface
