SGVCut: A Vertex-Cut Partitioning Tool for Random Walks-based Computations over Social Network graphs

Published: 27 June 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Several distributed frameworks have recently emerged to perform computations on large-scale graphs. However some recent studies have highlighted that vertex-partitioning approaches, e.g. Giraph, failed to achieve workload-balanced partitioning for skewed graphs, typically having a heavy-tail degree distribution. While edge-partitioning approaches such as PowerGraph and GraphX provide beter balancing and performances for graph computation, they supply a generic framework, independent from the computation. This demonstration presents SGVCut to display our edge partitions designed for random walks-based computation, which is the foundation of many graph algorithms, on skewed graphs. The demonstration scenario introduces SGVCut interface and illustrates the benefits of our approach compare to other partitioning strategies for different settings and algorithms.
