Abstract
Abstract Streaming graph partitioning methods have recently gained attention due to their ability to scale to very large graphs with limited resources. However, many such methods do not consider workload and graph characteristics. This may degrade the performance of queries by increasing inter-node communication and computational load imbalance. Moreover, existing workload-aware methods cannot consistently provide good performance as they do not consider dynamic workloads that keep emerging in graph applications. We address these issues by proposing a novel workload-adaptive streaming partitioner named WASP, that aims to achieve low-latency and high-throughput online graph queries. As each workload typically contains frequent query patterns, WASP exploits the existing workload to capture active vertices and edges which are frequently visited and traversed, respectively. This information is used to heuristically improve the quality of partitions either by avoiding the concentration of active vertices in a few partitions proportional to their visit frequencies or by reducing the probability of the cut of active edges proportional to their traversal frequencies. In order to assess the impact of WASP on a graph store and to show how easily the approach can be plugged on top of the system, we exploit it in a distributed graph-based RDF store. Our experiments over three synthetic and real-world graph datasets and the corresponding static and dynamic query workloads show that WASP achieves a better query performance against state-of-the-art graph partitioners, especially in dynamic query workloads.

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
