Performance and Benchmarks#
How to make GFQL fast, and what it measures against other systems.
Start with Choosing a GFQL Engine: pandas, Polars, cuDF, Polars-GPU to pick pandas, Polars, cuDF, or Polars-GPU. GFQL Performance: Measured Against Graph Databases covers vectorization, GPU acceleration, and measured engine comparisons. Indexing Guide: Build Once, Query Faster and Adjacency Index: Fast Lookups from Known Nodes speed up queries that start from known nodes (a watchlist, a session, a seed set). GFQL Remote Mode runs the same queries on a Graphistry server GPU.
The GFQL vs Apache Spark GraphFrames on One Node page compares GFQL with Apache Spark GraphFrames on one machine. The Start Here case study compares one Cypher + PageRank pipeline with Neo4j + GDS.
