| 36 | +## Overview |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +**Graph-Analytics-Benchmarks** accompanies the paper [“Revisiting Graph Analytics Benchmark”](https://doi.org/10.1145/3725345), which introduces a new benchmark suite for cross-platform graph analytics. |
| 39 | +The paper argues that existing suites (e.g., LDBC Graphalytics) fall short in fully capturing differences across platforms, and proposes a benchmark enabling fair, scalable, and reproducible comparisons. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**This repository provides three main components:** |
| 42 | +- **Failure-Free Trial Data Generator (FFT-DG)**: |
| 43 | + A lightweight, failure-immune data generator with independent control over **scale**, **density**, and **diameter**. Supports multiple output formats (including weighted/unweighted edge lists). |
| 44 | +- **LLM-based API Usability Evaluation**: |
| 45 | + A multi-level LLM framework for automatically generating and evaluating algorithm implementations across platforms, producing multi-dimensional quality scores and replacing costly human studies (packaged in Docker for one-command execution). |
| 46 | +- **Performance Evaluation Scripts**: |
| 47 | + Reproducible experiment setup in **Kubernetes + Docker**, with distributed jobs scheduled by the **Kubeflow MPI Operator (MPIJob)**. Provides unified reporting on **timing, throughput (edges/s), scalability, and robustness**. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +**Algorithm Coverage (8 representative algorithms):** |
| 50 | +PageRank (PR), Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP), Triangle Counting (TC), Betweenness Centrality (BC), K-Core (KC), Community Detection (CD), Label Propagation (LPA), Weakly Connected Components (WCC). |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +**Supported Platforms and Execution Modes:** |
| 53 | +- **Kubernetes + MPI**: Flash, Ligra, Grape |
| 54 | +- **Kubernetes + MPI + Hadoop**: Pregel+, Gthinker, PowerGraph |
| 55 | +- **Spark-based**: GraphX (requires Spark 2.4.x / Scala 2.11 / Hadoop 2.7 / Java 8) |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +**Intended Audience:** |
| 58 | +Researchers, practitioners, and educators in graph systems and distributed computing who require reproducible, apples-to-apples comparisons and system tuning under consistent conditions. |

| 80 | +#### Requirements |
| 81 | +We provide a lightweight C++ program (download from [Data_Generator.zip](https://graphscope.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/benchmark_datasets/Data_Generator.zip)) to generate data. Download and unzip to the `Data_Generator/` folder. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +#### Usage |

| 85 | +python3 gab_cli.py datagen --platform <platform> --scale <scale> --feature <feature> |
| 86 | +``` |
| 87 | +- **--platform**: Target graph system (e.g., `flash`, `ligra`, `grape`, `gthinker`, `pregel+`, `powergraph`, `graphx`) |
| 88 | +- **--scale**: Graph scale (e.g., `8`, `9`, `10`, or custom value) |
| 89 | +- **--feature**: Data generation feature (`Standard`, `Density`, or `Diameter`) |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +#### Example |
