Shrnutí:Evolving graph processing has enabled the modeling of many complex network systems, e.g., online social networks and gene networks. Existing in-memory graph data structures cannot effectively exploit the current and ongoing adoption of emerging non-volatile main memory (NVMM) for two reasons. (1) Ephemeral graph data structures are not crash-consistent nor durable for NVMM. Corruption is likely when updating its correlated application-defined data and runtime states in the face of hardware or software failures. (2) NVMM writes and reads may incur higher latency than DRAM. Placing the data structures in NVMM may result in a significant loss of performance. In this paper, we propose a novel persistent evolving graph data structure, named NVGRAPH, for both computing and in-memory storage of evolving graphs in NVMM. We devise NVGRAPH as a multi-version data structure, wherein a minimum of one version of its data is stored in NVMM to provide the desired durability at runtime for failure recovery, and another version is stored in both DRAM and NVMM to reduce the NVMM-induced memory latency. We dynamically transform the layout of NVGRAPH including changing the size of its partition in DRAM and the position of its base snapshot exploiting network properties and data access patterns of workloads. For the evaluation of NVGRAPH, we implement four representative real-world graph applications: pagerank, BFS, influence maximization, and rumor source detection. The experimental results show that the performance of NVGRAPH is comparable to other in-memory data structure (e.g., CSR and LLAMA) while using 70% less DRAM. It scales well up to 10 billion edges and 201 snapshots and supports crash consistency. It offers up to the 21X speedup of execution time compared to the scale-up graph computation approaches (e.g., GraphChi and X-stream).
