An Incrementally Expanding Approach for Updating PageRank on Dynamic Graphs
Abstract: PageRank is a popular centrality metric that assigns importance to the vertices of a graph based on its neighbors and their score. Efficient parallel algorithms for updating PageRank on dynamic graphs is crucial for various applications, especially as dataset sizes have reached substantial scales. This technical report presents our Dynamic Frontier approach. Given a batch update of edge deletion and insertions, it progressively identifies affected vertices that are likely to change their ranks with minimal overhead. On a server equipped with a 64-core AMD EPYC-7742 processor, our Dynamic Frontier PageRank outperforms Static, Naive-dynamic, and Dynamic Traversal PageRank by 7.8x, 2.9x, and 3.9x respectively - on uniformly random batch updates of size 10-7 |E| to 10-3 |E|. In addition, our approach improves performance at an average rate of 1.8x for every doubling of threads.
