They are asking about dedicated matrix libraries. Neither GraphX nor Giraph are matrix libraries. These are systems that handle large scale graph processing, which could possibly be modeled as matrix computations. Hama looks like a BSP framework, so I am not sure if it has anything to do with matrix library either.
For very small matrices (3x3, 4x4), the cost of going through jni to do native matrix operations will likely dominate the computation itself, so you are probably better off with a simple unrolled for loop in Java. I haven't looked into this myself, but I heard mahout-math is a decent library. -- Reynold Xin, AMPLab, UC Berkeley http://rxin.org On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 6:13 AM, Dmitriy Lyubimov <[email protected]> wrote: > keep forgetting this: what is graphx release roadmap? > > On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 3:04 PM, Konstantin Boudnik <[email protected]> wrote: > > Would it be more logical to use GraphX ? > > https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/publication/graphx-grades/ > > > > Cos > > > > On Fri, Sep 06, 2013 at 09:13PM, Mattmann, Chris A (398J) wrote: > >> Thanks Roman, I was thinking Giraph too (knew it supported graphs but > >> wasn't sure it supported matrices).
