I find that very abstract software packages like this are difficult to visualize without an example. This page does not offer one, but TFM does -- see [1]. Also note that TFM describes the fact that this is Windows-only. That makes it substantially less interesting, IMO.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.graphengine.io/docs/manual/index.html#what-is-ge" rel="nofollow">https://www.graphengine.io/docs/manual/index.html#what-is-ge</a>
At this rate, are we going to see Windows open-sourced?<p>MS is on a roll. My bias since 1996 is being eroded with each OSS release they have, and multi-platform targeted support.<p>I started using VSCode regularly as my main Rust IDE, and I feel dirty for liking it. It's seemless across macOS and Linux.
Interesting - Linux Foundation with IBM, Google and others announced last week JanusGraph [0]. Janus provides optional persistent storage option also.<p>What are the good use cases for these ?<p>[0] <a href="http://janusgraph.org/" rel="nofollow">http://janusgraph.org/</a>
This era of open source from MS is great, but my reaction is always "OK, here's the Microsoft version of something I've been using for a couple of years already".<p>I'd like to see the Spanner+Cyc GIS-capable global distributed real-time graph engine with FPGA accelerated OLAP support MS Research is probably sitting on, because we can almost / pretty-much hack that together with OSS now.
Microsoft of 2017 makes me forget about Microsoft of 1997. It's insane how a shakeup of CEO and new cultural shift can seemingly add another major boost to it's brand.<p>I welcome open source, eventually, I believe that it will eat commercial software, if the right economic incentives are in place. Microsoft may be signaling this to the market.
Seems to be just a marketing page with no link to source code or even mention of open source?<p>Here is the github page:<p><a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/GraphEngine" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/GraphEngine</a>
I've been running into the idea of computational graphs a lot recently. It's at the core of Tensorflow (and NN in general) but it also comes up for example in Apple's AVFoundation where all audio processing happens in a graph of audio units. Does anyone know what's the theoretical foundation of computational graphs?<p>EDIT: I've created a wiki page for computational graphs. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_Graph" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_Graph</a>. Add your input.
Funny how Microsoft has been rocking hard with their OS releases lately (and good on them for doing so), but there's still a pervasive feeling in the dev community about their true eventual motives and strategy.<p>"Fool me once..." I guess, or as we say in France "Cold water scares the scalded cat".
Is this in the same space as Storm, Flink, or Spark?<p>Does it do streaming data such as Flink or Storm? Or is it batch-optimized?<p>What languages does the compute engine support?
I still like the neat Pajek. Nifty little piece of software, unknown by most, but really powerful! Especially if you are into social network analysis. Who else uses it?<p><a href="http://mrvar.fdv.uni-lj.si/pajek/" rel="nofollow">http://mrvar.fdv.uni-lj.si/pajek/</a>

I see that the source code "os.h" file has directives to handle Linux and Apple. Has anyone managed to build it and use it in the even most trivial way?
How the hell does this story have so many upvotes?<p>HN really needs to do something about Microsoft's vote manipulation - it's becoming quite blatant at this point.
This is not a cuddly new Microsoft. First comes the embrace (look at all this stuff on our github!), then comes the extend (run your Linux stack on Windows and never have to give up Visual Studio!), I'm sure you know what comes next. Hint: PC manufacturers no longer have to give you the option to disable Secure Boot.
