Abstract
En 中文
As large language models migrate to edge intelligence, efficient processing of underlying dynamic graphs becomes vital for low-latency reasoning and resource-constrained execution. However, existing distributed systems often suffer from redundant computation and varying convergence speeds when handling dynamic graph data. To address these issues, we present GraphDelta, a unified framework that combines inter-batch and intra-batch optimizations. The inter-batch incremental update model reuses historical results and applies a pruning function to reduce the impact of vertex deletions, while the intra-batch incremental execution strategy selectively updates active vertices. Moreover, we design and implement GraphDelta based on GraphX, a widely used platform for distributed graph computing, and conduct experiments using representative benchmarks: PageRank, Connected Components, and SSSP on four different graph datasets. Experiment results indicate that GraphDelta outperforms GraphX with an average speedup of 39.11x when the graph update size is |ΔG|=100k, and exceeds the performance of other incremental graph processing systems with an average speedup of 4.96x when the graph update size is |ΔG|={1%,5%,10%,15%,20%}|G|.
