Hii Everyone,  
is there any way one can use/implement GPU in neo4j to improve the query performance(especially graph algorithm for similarity measures).  
if there is any way please mention the steps for same.  
thankyou

Hi, I couldn't find any official documentation about GPU support in neo4j except the bloom for visualization. When you look at the Graph Data Science Library Installation ([Installation - Neo4j Graph Data Science](https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/installation/)), it only talks about CPU, not GPU. Perhaps, additional tools/framework may be required.

Thanks for the reply @poonsfci,  
is there anyway you are aware of using additional tool/framework?  
please let me know the steps for the same .  
thankyou.

Perhaps, the following article may help you in this area:

> **[Nvidia Rapids cuGraph: Making graph analysis ubiquitous](https://www.zdnet.com/article/nvidia-rapids-cugraph-making-graph-analysis-ubiquitous/)**
>
> A new open-source library by Nvidia could be the secret ingredient to advancing analytics and making graph databases faster. The key: parallel processing on Nvidia GPUs.

Noted that Networkx can access Neo4j data.

Hope that this can help.
