sparse matrix algebra RDF engine MAGIQ SPARQL queries RDF graphs optimization CPU GPU

Existing RDF engines are designed for specific hardware architectures; porting to a different architecture (e.g., GPUs) entails enormous implementation effort. We explore sparse matrix algebra as an alternative for designing a portable, scalable and efficient RDF engine.
