## Motivation
71
-
72
-
From social networks to language modeling, the growing scale and importance of
73
-
graph data has driven the development of numerous new *graph-parallel* systems
74
-
(e.g., [Giraph](http://giraph.apache.org) and
75
-
[GraphLab](http://graphlab.org)). By restricting the types of computation that can be
76
-
expressed and introducing new techniques to partition and distribute graphs,
77
-
these systems can efficiently execute sophisticated graph algorithms orders of
78
-
magnitude faster than more general *data-parallel* systems.
