Thanks for the reply!

> Define "handle". igraph can "handle" these graphs, in the sense that it can
read/write/manipulate them. It just cannot calculate _everything_ on them.

For my purpose, obviously, it’s the calculations that matter to me. So, handle 
means handle the calculations. Sorry for being not clear.

> And you'll never find any piece of software that can.

Some of the new graph-parallel processing systems (such as Graphlab’s 
PowerGraph, Apache’s Giraph, etc.) can, but they are just not as complete as 
igraph. For example, Graphlab only has PageRank and Triangle Counting 
implemented. 

So, I guess I am on my own to implement all the calculations in one of the HPC 
frameworks. I was trying to avoided it, since it wasn’t really the goal of my 
study.

Thanks,

Jiang
