It exists to let developers adapt sequential graph algorithms with relatively small changes and run them across large graph data. ### Project history The repository README ties libgrape-lite to GRAPE, the Graph Parallel Processing Engine described in SIGMOD and VLDB work from 2017. The project presents itself as a lightweight, open-source implementation of the GRAPE core rather than a full graph platform. GraphScope documentation says its analytical engine originated from GRAPE, and that a lightweight version of GRAPE is open-sourced as libgrape-lite. GraphScope extends it with mutable fragments, vineyard support, and service-mode features. ### Adoption history libgrape-lite's adoption story is mostly inside Alibaba and GraphScope rather than broad end-user CLI use. The README's badge says it enables GraphScope, and GraphScope's glossary calls libgrape-lite a dependency that serves as the analytical engine core. The v0.1.0 tag points to a 2021-10-29 commit, and subsequent tags through v0.3.5 show a small versioned release series. Homebrew packaging makes the C++/MPI graph library available outside the GraphScope source tree for users who want the lighter standalone component. ### How it is used Users build libgrape-lite with CMake, a C++11 compiler, MPI, and glog, then run example analytical applications such as single-source shortest path, weakly connected components, PageRank, local clustering coefficient, label propagation, and breadth-first search. The project also includes LDBC benchmark support, optional GPU graph processing with CUDA and NCCL, and a GNN sampler example, so the package is most relevant to graph analytics researchers and infrastructure developers. ### Why package nerds care The package is niche but interesting because it is a standalone slice of a larger graph-computing platform. Packaging libgrape-lite separately lets users experiment with GRAPE-style graph analytics without installing all of GraphScope. Its dependency profile is very package-manager-shaped: C++11, MPI, glog, optional jemalloc, optional CUDA/NCCL, and benchmark/examples. That makes it a small formula with heavyweight ecosystem implications. ### Timeline - 2017: GRAPE publications appeared at SIGMOD and VLDB, with the README citing Best Paper and Best Demo awards. - 2021-10-29: The v0.1.0 tag points to a commit from this date. - 2021: GraphScope was presented in VLDB and open sourced, with its analytical engine tied to GRAPE. - 2026-07-01: The batch input listed Homebrew packaging for standalone libgrape-lite. ### Related projects - GraphScope is the larger graph-computing system whose analytical engine builds on GRAPE/libgrape-lite. - Vineyard is named by GraphScope documentation as an extension point around the analytical engine. - LDBC Graphalytics, CUDA, NCCL, MPICH, OpenMPI, glog, and GraphScope's GRAPE-JDK appear in the project's documented ecosystem. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** libgrape-lite - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 2 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [gflags](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gflags/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [open-mpi](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/open-mpi/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [vineyard](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/vineyard/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [leveldb](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/leveldb/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, data, library. - [libmemcached](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/libmemcached/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, data, library. - [xapian](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xapian/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, data, library. - [xerces-c](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xerces-c/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, data, library. - [zxing-cpp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/zxing-cpp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: c-plus-plus, cli, data, library. - [bzip2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bzip2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, library. - [gdbm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gdbm/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, library. - [hadoop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hadoop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, data, distributed-computing. - [adios2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/adios2/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
