High-Throughput GPU Random Walk with Fine-Tuned Concurrent Query Processing

Random walk serves as a powerful tool in dealing with large-scale graphs, reducing data size while preserving structural information. Unfortunately, existing system frameworks all focus on the execution of a single walker task in serial. We propose CoWalker, a high-throughput GPU random walk framework tailored for concurrent random walk tasks. It introduces a multi-level concurrent execution model to allow concurrent random walk tasks to efficiently share GPU resources with low overhead. Our system prototype confirms that the proposed system could outperform (up to 54%) the state-of-the-art in a wide spectral of scenarios.
