Many real-world systems, such as social networks, rely on mining efficiently large graphs, with hundreds of millions of vertices and edges. This volume of information requires partitioning the graph across multiple nodes in a distributed system. This has a deep effect on performance, as traversing edges cut between partitions incurs a significant performance penalty due to the cost of communication. Thus, several systems in the literature have attempted to improve computational performance by enhancing graph partitioning, but they do not support another characteristic of real-world graphs: graphs are inherently dynamic, their topology evolves continuously, and subsequently the optimum partitioning also changes over time. In this work, we present the first system that dynamically repartitions massive graphs to adapt to structural changes. The system optimises graph partitioning to prevent performance degradation without using data replication. The system adopts an iterative vertex migration algorithm that relies on local information only, making complex coordination unnecessary. We show how the improvement in graph partitioning reduces execution time by over 50%, while adapting the partitioning to a large number of changes to the graph in three real-world scenarios.

The dynamic scaling of distributed computations plays an important role in the utilization of elastic computational resources, such as the cloud. It enables the provisioning and de-provisioning of resources to match dynamic resource availability and
demands. In the case of distributed graph processing, changing the number of the graph partitions while maintaining high partitioning quality imposes serious computational overheads as typically a time-consuming graph partitioning algorithm needs to execute each time repartitioning is required. In this paper, we propose a dynamic scaling method that can efficiently change the number of graph partitions while keeping its quality high. Our idea is based on two techniques: preprocessing and very fast edge partitioning, called graph edge ordering and chunk-based edge partitioning, respectively. The former converts the graph data into an ordered edge list in such a way that edges with high locality are closer to each other. The latter immediately divides the ordered edge list into an arbitrary number of high-quality partitions. The evaluation with the real-world billion-scale graphs demonstrates that our proposed approach significantly reduces the repartitioning time, while the partitioning quality it achieves is on par with that of the best existing static method.
This paper initiates the study of the classic balanced graph partitioning problem from an online perspective: Given an arbitrary sequence of pairwise communication requests between $n$ nodes, with patterns that may change over time, the objective is
to service these requests efficiently by partitioning the nodes into $ell$ clusters, each of size $k$, such that frequently communicating nodes are located in the same cluster. The partitioning can be updated dynamically by migrating nodes between clusters. The goal is to devise online algorithms which jointly minimize the amount of inter-cluster communication and migration cost. The problem features interesting connections to other well-known online problems. For example, scenarios with $ell=2$ generalize online paging, and scenarios with $k=2$ constitute a novel online variant of maximum matching. We present several lower bounds and algorithms for settings both with and without cluster-size augmentation. In particular, we prove that any deterministic online algorithm has a competitive ratio of at least $k$, even with significant augmentation. Our main algorithmic contributions are an $O(k log{k})$-competitive deterministic algorithm for the general setting with constant augmentation, and a constant competitive algorithm for the maximum matching variant.
Optimizing data-intensive workflow execution is essential to many modern scientific projects such as the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will be the largest radio telescope in the world, collecting terabytes of data per second for the next few de
cades. At the core of the SKA Science Data Processor is the graph execution engine, scheduling tens of thousands of algorithmic components to ingest and transform millions of parallel data chunks in order to solve a series of large-scale inverse problems within the power budget. To tackle this challenge, we have developed the Data Activated Liu Graph Engine (DALiuGE) to manage data processing pipelines for several SKA pathfinder projects. In this paper, we discuss the DALiuGE graph scheduling sub-system. By extending previous studies on graph scheduling and partitioning, we lay the foundation on which we can develop polynomial time optimization methods that minimize both workflow execution time and resource footprint while satisfying resource constraints imposed by individual algorithms. We show preliminary results obtained from three radio astronomy data pipelines.
Recent studies showed that single-machine graph processing systems can be as highly competitive as cluster-based approaches on large-scale problems. While several out-of-core graph processing systems and computation models have been proposed, the hig
h disk I/O overhead could significantly reduce performance in many practical cases. In this paper, we propose GraphMP to tackle big graph analytics on a single machine. GraphMP achieves low disk I/O overhead with three techniques. First, we design a vertex-centric sliding window (VSW) computation model to avoid reading and writing vertices on disk. Second, we propose a selective scheduling method to skip loading and processing unnecessary edge shards on disk. Third, we use a compressed edge cache mechanism to fully utilize the available memory of a machine to reduce the amount of disk accesses for edges. Extensive evaluations have shown that GraphMP could outperform state-of-the-art systems such as GraphChi, X-Stream and GridGraph by 31.6x, 54.5x and 23.1x respectively, when running popular graph applications on a billion-vertex graph.
The trade-off between pull-based and push-based graph processing engines is well-understood. On one hand, pull-based engines can achieve higher throughput because their workloads are read-dominant, rather than write-dominant, and can proceed without
synchronization between threads. On the other hand, push-based engines are much better able to take advantage of the frontier optimization, which leverages the fact that often only a small subset of the graph needs to be accessed to complete an iteration of a graph processing application. Hybrid engines attempt to overcome this trade-off by dynamically switching between push and pull, but there are two key disadvantages with this approach. First, applications must be implemented twice (once for push and once for pull), and second, processing throughput is reduced for iterations that run with push. We propose a radically different solution: rebuild the frontier optimization entirely such that it is well-suited for a pull-based engine. In doing so, we remove the only advantage that a push-based engine had over a pull-based engine, making it possible to eliminate the push-based engine entirely. We introduce Wedge, a pull-only graph processing framework that transforms the traditional source-oriented vertex-based frontier into a pull-friendly format called the Wedge Frontier. The transformation itself is expensive even when parallelized, so we introduce two key optimizations to make it practical. First, we perform the transformation only when the resulting Wedge Frontier is sufficiently sparse. Second, we coarsen the granularity of the representation of elements in the Wedge Frontier. These optimizations respectively improve Wedges performance by up to 5x and 2x, enabling it to outperform Grazelle, Ligra, and GraphMat respectively by up to 2.8x, 4.9x, and 185.5x.
