Abstract

Beehive is a parallel programming framework designed for cluster-based computing environments in cloud data centers. It is specifically targeted for graph data analysis problems. The Beehive framework provides the abstraction of key-value based global object storage, which is maintained in memory of the cluster nodes. Its computation model is based on optimistic concurrency control in executing concurrent tasks as atomic transactions for harnessing amorphous parallelism in graph analysis problems. We describe here the architecture and the programming abstractions provided by this framework, and present the performance of the Beehive framework for several graph problems such as maximum flow, minimum weight spanning tree, graph coloring, and the PageRank algorithm.
