Graph neural network (GNN) is a promising emerging application for link prediction, recommendation, etc. Existing hardware innovation is limited to single-machine GNN (SM-GNN), however, the enterprises usually adopt huge graph with large-scale distributed GNN (LSD-GNN) that has to be carried out with distributed in-memory storage. The LSD-GNN is very different from SM-GNN in terms of system architecture demand, workflow and operators, and hence characterizations.
