Spacetime and information both have the basics of a geometry

pretty stoked that our paper on the vectorised #SPARQL execution engine in Stardog got accepted to the GRADES-NDA workshop at #SIGMOD2025. It's a cool piece of work describing how modern vectorised join algorithms, more widely known in the SQL world, make graph query processing much more efficient. Talking of up to an order of magnitude difference when it comes to analytical queries and large-scale joins. Hugely proud of my brilliant co-authors Simon Grätzer (the lead engineer on the BARQ project) and Lars Heling. It was their idea to do this work, and I couldn't be more proud that it worked out in the end. The preprint is now on arXiv: https://lnkd.in/eqXtVMqe

Property graphs have reached a high level of maturity, witnessed by multiple robust graph database systems as well as the ongoing ISO standardization effort aiming at creating a new standard Graph Query Language (GQL). Yet, despite documented demand, ...
