Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been demonstrated as a powerful tool for analysing non-Euclidean graph data. However, the lack of efficient distributed graph learning systems severely hinders applications of GNNs, especially when graphs are big, of high density or with highly skewed node degree distributions. In this paper, we present a new distributed graph learning system GraphTheta, which supports multiple training strategies and enables efficient and scalable learning on big graphs. GraphTheta implements both localized and globalized graph convolutions on graphs, where a new graph learning abstraction NN-TGAR is designed to bridge the gap between graph processing and graph learning frameworks. A distributed graph engine is proposed to conduct the stochastic gradient descent optimization with hybrid-parallel execution. Moreover, we add support for a new cluster-batched training strategy in addition to the conventional global-batched and mini-batched ones. We evaluate GraphTheta using a number of network data with network size ranging from small-, modest- to large-scale. Experimental results show that GraphTheta scales almost linearly to 1,024 workers and trains an in-house developed GNN model within 26 hours on Alipay dataset of 1.4 billion nodes and 4.1 billion attributed edges. Moreover, GraphTheta also obtains better prediction results than the state-of-the-art GNN methods. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the largest edge-attributed GNN learning task conducted on a billion-scale network in the literature.

Training neural networks with many processors can reduce time-to-solution; however, it is challenging to maintain convergence and efficiency at large scales. The Kronecker-factored Approximate Curvature (K-FAC) was recently proposed as an approximati
on of the Fisher Information Matrix that can be used in natural gradient optimizers. We investigate here a scalable K-FAC design and its applicability in convolutional neural network (CNN) training at scale. We study optimization techniques such as layer-wise distribution strategies, inverse-free second-order gradient evaluation, and dynamic K-FAC update decoupling to reduce training time while preserving convergence. We use residual neural networks (ResNet) applied to the CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-1k datasets to evaluate the correctness and scalability of our K-FAC gradient preconditioner. With ResNet-50 on the ImageNet-1k dataset, our distributed K-FAC implementation converges to the 75.9% MLPerf baseline in 18-25% less time than does the classic stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimizer across scales on a GPU cluster.
Full-batch training on Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to learn the structure of large graphs is a critical problem that needs to scale to hundreds of compute nodes to be feasible. It is challenging due to large memory capacity and bandwidth requirements
on a single compute node and high communication volumes across multiple nodes. In this paper, we present DistGNN that optimizes the well-known Deep Graph Library (DGL) for full-batch training on CPU clusters via an efficient shared memory implementation, communication reduction using a minimum vertex-cut graph partitioning algorithm and communication avoidance using a family of delayed-update algorithms. Our results on four common GNN benchmark datasets: Reddit, OGB-Products, OGB-Papers and Proteins, show up to 3.7x speed-up using a single CPU socket and up to 97x speed-up using 128 CPU sockets, respectively, over baseline DGL implementations running on a single CPU socket
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are a new and increasingly popular family of deep neural network architectures to perform learning on graphs. Training them efficiently is challenging due to the irregular nature of graph data. The problem becomes even mo
re challenging when scaling to large graphs that exceed the capacity of single devices. Standard approaches to distributed DNN training, such as data and model parallelism, do not directly apply to GNNs. Instead, two different approaches have emerged in the literature: whole-graph and sample-based training. In this paper, we review and compare the two approaches. Scalability is challenging with both approaches, but we make a case that research should focus on sample-based training since it is a more promising approach. Finally, we review recent systems supporting sample-based training.
Graph neural networks (GNNs) are naturally distributed architectures for learning representations from network data. This renders them suitable candidates for decentralized tasks. In these scenarios, the underlying graph often changes with time due t
o link failures or topology variations, creating a mismatch between the graphs on which GNNs were trained and the ones on which they are tested. Online learning can be leveraged to retrain GNNs at testing time to overcome this issue. However, most online algorithms are centralized and usually offer guarantees only on convex problems, which GNNs rarely lead to. This paper develops the Wide and Deep GNN (WD-GNN), a novel architecture that can be updated with distributed online learning mechanisms. The WD-GNN consists of two components: the wide part is a linear graph filter and the deep part is a nonlinear GNN. At training time, the joint wide and deep architecture learns nonlinear representations from data. At testing time, the wide, linear part is retrained, while the deep, nonlinear one remains fixed. This often leads to a convex formulation. We further propose a distributed online learning algorithm that can be implemented in a decentralized setting. We also show the stability of the WD-GNN to changes of the underlying graph and analyze the convergence of the proposed online learning procedure. Experiments on movie recommendation, source localization and robot swarm control corroborate theoretical findings and show the potential of the WD-GNN for distributed online learning.
Modern machine learning techniques are successfully being adapted to data modeled as graphs. However, many real-world graphs are typically very large and do not fit in memory, often making the problem of training machine learning models on them intra
ctable. Distributed training has been successfully employed to alleviate memory problems and speed up training in machine learning domains in which the input data is assumed to be independently identical distributed (i.i.d). However, distributing the training of non i.i.d data such as graphs that are used as training inputs in Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) causes accuracy problems since information is lost at the graph partitioning boundaries. In this paper, we propose a training strategy that mitigates the lost information across multiple partitions of a graph through a subgraph approximation scheme. Our proposed approach augments each sub-graph with a small amount of edge and vertex information that is approximated from all other sub-graphs. The subgraph approximation approach helps the distributed training system converge at single-machine accuracy, while keeping the memory footprint low and minimizing synchronization overhead between the machines.
