Graphistry is impressive, but not free, and needs their server and an API key. You probably already know about graphviz sfdp (not interactive). There'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'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 source has not been that rapid.

Those projects are pretty exciting. We accelerated FA2 and are now adding acceleration to the surrounding analytics interactions. And yep, to support an eco-system here, we've been iterating on a sustainable & scalable model (... "enterprise").

To that end, we have a variety of non-profits & scientists using our cloud tier. We want to streamline that program in the coming months: If that's you today, we'd love to help, so feel free to reach out for early access. For example, we've been excited by data science and cybersecurity schools, journalists, and scientists.
