Ofc. I'm not claiming credit for Apache Arrow. Lots of people contributed to it.

I didn't write the graph algorithms in networkit. Somebody else did.

But if you're looking for 100-200 graph algorithms running efficiently on columnar memory, I haven't found a working implementation that's permissively open source.

Happy to work with cugraph or anyone else who builds on top of Parquet/Arrow ecosystem.

cudf/cugraph is open source and helped fund the arrow ecosystem , I think it's good to give teams credit when they do work they didn't have to do and not misrepresent them. And yes, it works great, graph500 leaderboard level.

I'm happy to credit these people.

CUDA and the ecosystem around it is more complicated.

I'll use it. I agree that it advanced the state of the art and helped fund some of the truly OSS projects.

Don't feel the need to bring it up on a HN comment. Neither does the parent article by Sem.

In fact, it's in the vendor's interest to transparently route the algorithms in Icebug to the GPU in a compatible way instead of writing their own APIs.
