Good toolkits/languages for experimenting with graph algorithms?

From research point of view, you can have a look at graph500 benchmark and active pebbles framework, to get an idea of what the state-of-the art is in parallel graph algorithms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
