Moreover, graph processing exposes new bottlenecks in traditional HPC systems (see differences in Top500 and Graph500 rankings).=0A=0AComplementing Graph500, the Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC) consortium, which involves over 25 academic and industry partners, focuses on the development of benchmarks that will spur research and industry progress in large-scale graph and RDF data management. =0A=0AThis tutorial introduces the SC audience to the latest LDBC benchmarks. Attendees will learn about and experiment with methods and tools for performance evaluation and optimization for graph processing platforms, and become able to explain the performance dependency Platform-Algorithm-Dataset. The attendees will understand in-depth three workloads, interactive social networking, semi-online business intelligence based on analytical queries, and batch full-graph analytics. The tutorial presents real-world experiences with commonly used systems, from graph databases such as Virtuoso and Neo4j, to parallel GPU-based systems such as Totem and Medusa, to distributed graph-processing platforms such as Giraph and GraphX. The tutorial also includes significant hands-on and Q&A components.
