Computing source-to-target shortest paths for complex networks in RDBMS

作者:

Highlights:

• We use relational database management systems (RDBMS) for solving shortest paths on large networks.

• Our algorithms outperform counterparts running on modern native graph databases.

• Our algorithms perform orders of magnitude faster than baselines and even faster than main memory algorithms for large graphs.
