Abstract
A distributed graph database that enables scaling and efficient processing is described. The distributed graph database can, for example, scale up to petabytes of data to enable transactional processing of graph data with low latency and low processing overhead. The distributed graph database can include a cluster of devices and a remote direct memory access (RDMA)-based communication layer to perform low latency messaging between devices of the cluster of devices. Additionally, the distributed graph database can include a shared memory layer that provides one or more data structures, a transaction layer to facilitate query processing, and a graph database layer stored in computer-readable media and executed on a processor to implement a graph data model. In at least one example, the graph data model can be mapped to the one or more data structures.
