TL;DR
This paper advocates for establishing a standard set of primitive graph algorithm building blocks based on linear algebra, aiming to unify and advance the development of graph algorithms.
Contribution
It introduces the idea of creating a standardized set of graph algorithm primitives and initiates an open effort to define these standards.
Findings
The state of graph algorithm primitives is mature enough for standardization.
A position paper proposing the development of a standard set of primitives.
An open effort to define and adopt these standards is announced.
Abstract
It is our view that the state of the art in constructing a large collection of graph algorithms in terms of linear algebraic operations is mature enough to support the emergence of a standard set of primitive building blocks. This paper is a position paper defining the problem and announcing our intention to launch an open effort to define this standard.
