PEGASUS: A Peta-Scale Graph Mining System Implementation and Observations

In this paper, we describe PEGASUS, an open source peta graph mining library which performs typical graph mining tasks such as computing the diameter of the graph, computing the radius of each node and finding the connected components. as the size of graphs reaches several giga-, tera- or peta-bytes, the necessity for such a library grows too. To the best of our knowledge, PEGASUS is the first such library, implemented on the top of the HADOOP platform, the open source version of MAPREDUCE. Many graph mining operations (PageRank, spectral clustering, diameter estimation, connected components etc.) are essentially a repeated matrix-vector multiplication. In this paper we describe a very important primitive for…
