~10 years ago, we helped create apache arrow, helped create GPU data frames, and been running for the last decade the open source pygraphistry and now gfql cpu+gpu property graph engine for this. Likewise, Nvidia has been doing great with cuGraph (OSS) for GPU algs around this.
It is great you are finding success with this direction, but "shoulders of giants" merit credit - 100+ people.
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.
