Abstract
Techniques for generating and transferring bulk messages from one computing device to another computing device in a cluster are provided. Each computing device in a cluster is assigned a different set of nodes of a graph. A first computing device may be assigned a particular node that is neighbors with multiple other nodes that are assigned to one or more other computing devices in the cluster. When processing graph-related code at the first computing device, information about the neighbors may be required. The first computing device receives a bulk message from one of the other computing devices. The bulk message contains information about at least a subset of the neighbors. Therefore, the first computing device is not required to send multiple messages for information about the subset of neighbors. In fact, the first computing device is not required to send any message for the information.
