You probably already know about graphviz sfdp (not interactive). There&#x27;s been interesting recent work on distributed maxent optimization https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.04383.pdf and sparse stress models https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08909 (see its references as well, for example, Khoury&#x27;s MARS is still available at https://github.com/marckhoury/mars). This problem requires a ton of algorithm engineering, a lot of messy user interface engineering, and integration into an HPC environment is a big issue, so progress in open…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1506.04383/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
