Junet: A Julia Package For Network Research

Abstract

Network science is moving at a rapid pace. However, mainstream analytic packages often fall behind: it is too difficult to implement new complex algorithms in them or it is hard to make them fast. With Junet, we address this problem by implementing a high-performance network analysis package in a high-level language. It allows users to write concise Julia code with performance on par with analogous C/C++ code and have unparalleled control over memory consumption for working with large networks.
