Large-Scale Graph Computation on Just a PC

Large-Scale Graph Computation on Just a PC: Aapo Kyrola Ph.D. thesis defense by Aapo Kyroa.

If you are looking for an overview of Kyroa’s work, this is the resource for you.

Slide 8: “Benefits of single machine systems Assuming it can handle your big problems…”, currently reads:

  1. Programmer productivity – Global state, debuggers…
  2. Inexpensive to install, administer, less power.
  3. Scalability – Use cluster of single-machine systems to solve many tasks in parallel. Idea: Trade latency for throughput < 32K bits/sec 8

I would add:

  1. A single machine forces creation of efficient data structures.

Think of it as using computation resources more effectively as opposed to scaling out to accommodate a problem.
