Analysis of large-scale networks using high performance technology (vkontakte case study)

Abstract

Case study Vkontakte presents an approach to the analysis of large-scale social networks. The paper describes the API usage to design the friend lists for construction of massive social network. It will avoid errors during the building process and select the most efficient parallel graph frameworks for the large network analysis. The case studied the basic parameters of the network Vkontakte, and determined its topology different from scale-free character. The collected dataset is opened for free public download.
