Abstract

Graph is a significant data structure that describes the relationship between entries. Many application domains in the real world are heavily dependent on graph data. However, graph applications are vastly different from traditional applications. It is inefficient to use general-purpose platforms for graph applications, thus contributing to the research of specific graph processing platforms. In this survey, we systematically categorize the graph workloads and applications, and provide a detailed review of existing graph processing platforms by dividing them into generalpurpose and specialized systems. We thoroughly analyze the implementation technologies including programming models, partitioning strategies, communication models, execution models, and fault tolerance strategies. Finally, we analyze recent advances and present four open problems for future research.
