In this presentation we will show how current general-purpose CPU hardware fails to deliver high performance graph analytics. We show that by doing a detailed analysis of the actual hardware functionally needed by graph queries (pointer jumping), we can redesign hardware that is optimized for fast graph traversal. We will also show how by combining graph and machine learning that an entire new generation of “sparse matrix” processing will move large enterprise graphs to an entire new level of capabilities. We combine an innovative use of graphics, metaphors and storytelling to help even non-technical staff understand and remember these concepts.
After this session participants will:
Understand the limitations of today’s current hardware for graph analytics
Understand the hardware and software needs of large graph analytics workloads
Understand how hardware can be redesigned for faster performance and lower power consumption
Notes for the program committee
This will not be a sales pitch for any current or future products. This will focus on understanding the concepts required for cost-effective sustainable enterprise-scale knowledge graphs.
