Abstract
Large and dynamic graphs with streaming updates have been gaining traction recently, along with the need for enabling graph analytics in a commodity cluster instead of a high-performance computing facility. Surprisingly, there is a lack of study on scaling out graph data structures to represent sparse dynamic graphs in a commodity cluster, and even the latest work [1] based upon the most common in-memory graph representation CSR [2] is a single-machine case. In this paper we present DISTINGER, a distributed graph representation that handles massive graph analytics with streaming updates. DISTINGER successfully extends a scale-up design to a scale-out graph data structure while maintains its efficiency and scalability. We implement our design and algorithms as a prototype, and compare it to single-site STINGER and state-of-art graph systems. Our experimental evaluation in a real cluster shows that DISTINGER can handle larger graphs than STINGER, and perform graph tasks (PageRank and edge updates) more efficiently than GraphLab and Giraph.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
