Graph analytics, which mainly includes graph processing, graph mining, and graph learning, has become increasingly important in several domains, including social network analysis, bioinformatics, and machine learning. However, graph analytics applications suffer from poor locality, limited bandwidth, and low parallelism owing to the irregular sparse structure, explosive growth, and dependencies of graph data. To address those challenges, several programming models, execution modes, and messaging strategies are proposed to improve the utilization of traditional hardware and performance. In recent years, novel computing and memory devices have emerged, e.g., HMCs, HBM, and ReRAM, providing massive bandwidth and parallelism resources, making it possible to address bottlenecks in graph applications. To facilitate understanding of the graph analytics domain, our study summarizes and categorizes current software systems implementation and domain-specific architectures. Finally, we discuss the future challenges of graph analytics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
