OpenGraphSim Benchmark Suite

Graph Processing Framework with SniperSIM/GEM5/OpenMP

Overview

OpenGraphSim builds on OpenGraph by integrating it with simulators like SNIPER/GEM5. It is an open source graph processing framework, designed as a modular benchmarking suite for graph processing algorithms. It provides an end to end evaluation infrastructure which includes the preprocessing stage (forming the graph structure) and the graph algorithm. The OpenMP part of OpenGraphSim has been developed on Ubuntu 20.04, with PowerPC/Intel architecture taken into account. OpenGraphSim is coded using C giving the researcher full flexibility with modifying data structures and other algorithmic optimizations.

Graph structure Input (Edge list)

If you open the Makefile you will see the convention for graph directories : BENCHMARKS_DIR/GRAPH_NAME/graph.wbin.
.bin stands to unweighted edge list, .wbin stands for wighted, In binary format. (This is only a convention you don't have to use it)
The reason behind converting the edge-list from text to binary, it is simply takes less space on the drive for large graphs, and easier to use with the mmap function.

Source	Dest	Weight (Optional)
30	3	1
3	4	1

Example:
INPUT: (unweighted textual edge-list)
../BENCHMARKS_DIR/GRAPH_NAME/graph

convert to binary format and add random weights, for this example all the weights are 1.
--graph-file-format is the type of graph you are reading, --convert-format is the type of format you are converting to.
NOTE: you can read the file from text format without the convert step. By adding --graph-file-format 0 to the argument list. The default is 1 assuming it is binary. please check --help for better explanation.
--stats is a flag that enables conversion. It used also for collecting stats about the graph (but this feature is on hold for now).
(unweighted graph)

open@graph:~OpenGraphSim/00_graph_bench$ make convert

OR (weighted graph)

open@graph:~OpenGraphSim/00_graph_bench$ make convert-w
